We are without cell phone service. Wondering how many others? It looks like a big outage across more than one provider. I’m in the south.
So how’s your cell phone service?🤷‍♀️

CNN — 

AT&T’s network went down for many of its customers across the United States Thursday morning, leaving customers unable to place calls, text or access the internet. Verizon and T-Mobile customers reported some network outages, too, but they appeared less widespread.

More than 44,000 AT&T customers reported outages on digital-service tracking site DownDetector. That’s not a comprehensive number: It tracks only self-reported outages. Although outage reports fell a bit in the 5 am ET hour, they bounced back in the 7 am ET hour and continue to surge.

The most reported AT&T outage locations according to DownDetector.com include:

• Dallas
• Chicago
• Houston
• Indianapolis
• Los Angeles
• Louisville
• Miami
• San Antonio

I'm in Atlanta, with AT&T, and we are one of the cities listed.

I'm showing service om my cell phone right now, but I am using my WIFI right now.  I haven't ventured out into the world yet this morning.

Does anyone know the cause of the outage?

No problems with my tracfone. I guess it doesn't pay to rely on smart phones for everything.  If a person used their phone to open cars or lock doors, they are out of luck. Technology is good, but if it fails, everyone is helpless.

Our morning news here (Pittsburgh) reported this outage.

They showed a screen shot of someone's phone (ATT) with a notification of this. They also said other networks might be affected. Mine (Verizon) seems to be ok.
