Verizon and T-Mo both issued statements that they have no outages and the issue is just their customers being unable to call AT&T customers. Looks like most of the AT&T network in the US is down though.
- peteradio 3y agoMy wife has google-fi and her coworker has verizon. Both of them say they can't make calls.
- whynotminot 3y agoAny chance they’re trying to call an AT&T customer?
- nonethewiser 3y agoand google-fi uses T-Mobile I believe
- cddotdotslash 3y agoAnecdotal, but I have Google Fi and was on a ~1 hour call this AM during the height of the outage and had zero issues.
- inferiorhuman 3y agoI've been tethering with T-Mobile as my primary internet connection and that's been working just fine. Voice also works for me with both TMo and Google Fi.

- pitaj 3y agoThat sounds entirely unrelated to this outage which began only a few hours ago.

- Tarball10 3y agoA theory for the reported Verizon/T-Mobile issues is that when AT&T went offline, all of those phones went into SOS mode and tried to register on the remaining available networks (Verizon and T-Mobile) to allow 911 calls to be made. The surge in devices registering at once may have overloaded some parts of those networks.
- justsomehnguy 3y agoUhm, no. You don't need to register to allow 911 calls. You 'register' (it's not a regular registration) at the moment you are placing the actual 911/112 call. At least that was in 2G/3G networks, doubt it changed. There is always some amount of terminals without SIM or without working SIM, there is no need for them to bang every available network in the vicinity just in case there could be an emergency call.
