Cell phone help, can't make calls

[COCA COLA COWBOY]

Just China making sure they can interrupt our service before they do an invasion. That is all.

 

[Riverhound 2.0]

Mine works; the other 5 phones on our account are all in SOS mode. Strange for sure.

Link to Your WiFi network

 

[lbhsbz]

Yes, but when I had AT&T is was like my network was down every day. No joke as FJB would say.

How is it that the network is down for my personal calls but still avail for SOS?
My Verizon is working on iPhone in OC btw

Are they separate networks?

With Apple, the SOS calls go through Satellite...not sure on Android

 

[dave29]

Wife's phone is down here in Colorado. My Android, no problems.

 

[NicPaus]

Just left Lowes. It was a zoo. No carts. Manager running a cashier. I asked what is going on.

System down at Home Depot. I was there 2 hours ago and no problem. Now all the customers are flooding to Lowes.

I have 8 I phones and several "devices" on my Verizon account I'm positive they will compensate us for the down time ............

Last week I thought about switching to Community but they had a limit of SEVEN phones , talk about tripping over dollars to pickup Pennies

 

[gqchris]

This happened last year with ATT and then ATT barely just admitted that they suffered a data breach.

Yea we kinda figured that..........

Our IT administrator put this out early this morning. Both my verizon phones are working just fine receiving non stop spam calls as usual.

Any AT&T or T-mobile people affected? I'm about ready to go grab another phone with a different company, but news articles seem to indicate every carrier is having problems.

AT&T here. No issues.

 

[rivermobster]

I was just talking to my daughters boyfriend...

I know he has an iPhone, but I'm not sure what provider.

I have an Android with Verizon.

We talked for about 20min while he was driving. No issues. Really strange how erratic this is.

 

[wzuber]

Did you know Louie has an Android too?

We all can't be as cool as you.

I guess reading comprehension is not your strong suit? I posted above I have an android ( not working) but my old motorola A1 is, go figure. My wife just texted saying her Iphone is working normal in Utah, she's on my acct.
Put the bong down Joe, it's Monday for Christ sakes. lol

 

[DRYHEAT]

Weird, I haven’t had any problems all morning.

 

[wzuber]

I was just told by an VZ employee @ their store in glendora they're shooting for a fix by 2:30 pm today

 

[Activated]

Verizon customer here and haven’t had any issues today in AZ.

I didn’t do the latest IOS update yet but that doesn’t seem to have anything to do with it.

 

[lbhsbz]

Just came back up…as I’m walking out of T-Mobile with a new setup..lol

T-mobile checking in fine on our end…. It’s just a temporary deal that all carriers have been through before I’m sure.

 

[Havaduner]

Mine just kicked back on!

 

[crzy2bealive]

I’m back on!

 

[wzuber]

Not mine, I'm not even getting wifi N any more. Not sure what's happening there.

[wzuber]

just noticed mine was back up and working again also

 

[1tonfun]

Got a lot done this morning without the damn phone going off LOL

 

[DarkHorseRacing]

after a cell outage sometimes it’s helpful to put the phone in airplane mode for 30 seconds and then take it off airplane mode. Will force the phone to re-register with a local tower.

Not me, T-Mobile
