T-Mobile, Verizon and AT&T phone calls are failing across the US
What could cause all major cell phone providers to experience outages that began at the same time in the same day?<p>A solar flare seems unlikely, since WiFi does not seem to be effected (for me at least).<p>Routing issue maybe?<p>One possibility: it’s all just T-Mobile, but people are bad at reporting.  For instance: if a non technical person tries to call a t-mobile number from their Verizon phone, and experiences an “outage”, they may report this as a problem with their own phone rather than understanding that it was on the receiving end (and knowing to try to call other carriers).<p>This could also explain problems with Facebook messenger (if the T-Mobile outage is effecting data).  It’s not a problem with messenger etc. it’s just that messenger is the service that some T-Mobile customers are trying to use and having it not work.  So they report it as a problem with the black box they know as their phone.<p>That or we are getting hacked. And if that’s the case then buckle in and charge up your ham radios.
