Did the Russian jambing gear, go global
...i.e., not tinfoil nonsense. I should also add that we reportedly have our enemies making open threats and/or warnings against us, and that’s not even counting the domestic knuckleheads running around out here.
It sounds like backhoe fade to me.
My daughter and I are on the same account. She works about 30 miles north of where I work. Her phone worked fine all day, mine did not. Curious.
Window jambing? Or door jambing?
Show me an AT&T outage, aside from inter-carrier connections, please.
Them being down this long is NOT a good look. Verizon may have to use straight characters for their home internet ads.
Can you hear me now?
My neighbor’s I phone was down but my android is up.
Both Verizon.
As far as cell service goes, 16 or 17 years ago after my wife and I moved to where we are now (close to 20 years ago), I got tired of my T-Mobile service not being good in this area. So I asked all the teenage friends of our kids who'd visit our kids which of them had good service at and near our house. Hands down Verizon was the best. So I switched to them and haven't had a problem with them. (Obviously with wifi calling if I'm in the house it's about internet service.) But I'm talking also about depending on cell service while walking around on our 1.5 acre property away from the wifi, and about walking the 1.2 miles I walk around the neighborhood a few times a week.
Verizon's been great. Until today. LOL
I was only referring to today.
Russia? How about Denmark?
My first suspicion would be an authentication protocol. Someone ran an update and the system then couldn't verify the SIM cards tied to certain phones.
My family and I live in San Diego but myself, my wife, and both of my sons have East Cost region area codes. SOS all day.
My daughter has a West Coast area code and her phone was fine. We all live in the same house and have a family account under my name.
We all have iPhone 16s except my daughter who has a 15.
I’m on Verizon with an iPhone and had no issues in Downeast Maine.
My expensive AT&T plan had been excellent for years. In the last nine months, only half the time I get an internet connection. Calls don’t arrive here, or when they do, the connection drops with scant warning. I’ll settle for a “fuzzy” voice on the other end.
Verison completely failed in my sorta-isolated location, so I switched to AT&T. They promised to refund my money when I had no service, but that’s NOT what I contracted for—and bought THEIR choice of Android Samsung Smartphone: “This the only phone we have at the store.”
