That's why T-Mobile's on-call engineers carry around AT&T phones. (source: friend who's an engineer at T-Mobile)

  That is a top 'did you know' factoid that I am sure I will tell others. But do AT+T engineers carry T-Mobile phones? If yes then they should put themselves together a deal so that none of the on-call engineers have to worry about running up big bills using their phones. When there are freak weather events they are all in it together.

    "factoid": I don't think it means what you think it means. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/factoid https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/factoid

      The second definition there fits perfectly.

  I remember that very well (worked for NSN), it wasn't funny. They learned that lesson from massive (unexpected) outage of their mobile network (2009), without possibility to reach technical persons: https://www.lightreading.com/ethernet-ip/server-glitch-crashes-t-mobile-network/d/d-id/667149 https://www.lightreading.com/ethernet-ip/server-glitch-crash...
