AT&T Customers Experience Network Issues, Consider Switching to T-Mobile or Verizon

Android and iOS phone users on AT&T’s network are currently facing network issues, with many seeing an SOS message on their devices. This is due to AT&T reporting that several of its cell towers are appearing as degraded, causing disruptions in service. The outage also affects FirstNet and CricketWireless customers.

The problem began around 4 AM Eastern Time and has been ongoing, with reports of outages increasing according to monitoring site Downdetector. AT&T is working to restore service, with spokesperson Sarah Rodriquez issuing an apology for the inconvenience caused by the equipment failure affecting customers in coastal areas of Virginia and North Carolina.

Customers across the US, including those in cities like Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Norfolk, Phoenix, and Seattle, are experiencing connectivity issues due to this outage. Frustrated by the recurring problems, some users are considering switching to T-Mobile or Verizon for more reliable service.

In response to previous outages, AT&T provided affected customers with compensation and free protection following a data breach incident. The company is currently working on resolving the current issue but may require up to 48 hours for service restoration.

As we await further updates on the situation from AT&T, impacted customers are encouraged to stay informed about any developments regarding the network outage. Stay tuned for more information on how AT&T plans to address this issue and support affected customers during this time.
