Since AT&T sends out bills giving customers with barely a week to pay or face added penalty charges on next month’s bill, perhaps AT&T should face penalty deductions to the bills of customers that suffered late or non-service on their smart phones.
NW ATL exurbs.
Could be dry run.
Probably an experimental project for Homeland Security to get an idea of what will happen when they take down all cellular.
Normally I’d be home on WiFi, but we’re doing a “leg” with pet rescue transport this morning,, so this will be old school w/o cell service. I’ve gotten spoiled with easy access.
Cricket/AT&T off line in northeast Florida
In Oklahoma. My Samsung works, but wife’s Iphone doesn’t. Weird.
AT&T Network OK here in South Central PA, for now...8am.
Big outages like this always make me think of a BGP issue. Unpleasant to experience and takes time to heal.
“we’re doing a “leg” with pet rescue transport this morning”
That’s so nice of you !
Freeper standardized statement “ I’m glad I switched from ATT”
Alabama
BGP?
I activated “wi-fi” calling on my Android and I’m back on line phone and text wise.
I did also. Thanks.
JUST IN - Reports of mobile service outages of AT&T, Verizon, etc. emerged after major solar flare, Meteorologist
Seems the some illegal Chinese or others are making a dry run on American Communications failures.

Starting in the Obama Administration the FCC rebranded their portions of the website that concerns Radio and transmission frequencies.
This was done to hide from the public/professionals the fact that Winter Warmer is not Global Warming but rather Solar Activity.
The Sun’s light is radiation, it is radio, it is in frequencies.
I became a State Department Information Management Specialist in 2004. I had started learning MCSE Microsoft and CISCO on my own before switching jobs in The Netherlands from a Retirement Services Officer to Network Assistant/Systems Admin. Luckily, I worked in the 36th Sig Bn and we owned the NATO Communications footprint. I was quickly paired with our chief Telephone Technician and was working on AFNORTH/AFCENT/SHAPE exchange in Holland for Belguim, NE Germany, Luxembough, The Netherlands. I was putting in conduit for a fiber probject, laying land lines and setting up exchanges for IT/Telephone/Radio.
I was selected by State by interview process in DC and was shocked to taken. During my training with State we focused on Microsoft for about 3-months (I guess this is because they hire spys in classes who have no experience, but I had to be qualified), then we went to Army Base in Virginia to learn Telephone and Radio, long haul com’s, Satellite, etc.
I was privy to the FCC changes because I personally went on with radio on the side to obtain Ham Licenses, some Intel Agency Com’s training, and watched as the WEATHER AGENDA forever shaped the professional knowledge.
Just to be clear, Sun spots send high speed pulses of heat or radiation towards the earth. This radiation interferes with all the spectrum of radio/color frequencies and communications based on radio.
Your cell phone is radio. Thus you Internet if from a wireless carrier would be radio to your plug in router.
There are advantages to fiber/copper networks. They are normally being buried today, but legacy transmission lines are on poles/towers. Some day, the ugly electric lines and communications lines spanning our Earth’s surface will be mostly gone from view - they are a health hazard, just as your local small election stations are to humans.
There is no human induced Climate Change to warrant the change to professional radio knowledge.
Industrial outputs and ICE emissions create food for leaves and plant life such as trees. They in turn provide oxygen for mammals to breath, for fish in wather.
It is a travesty of the Information Age that from 1975 onwards the knowledge base from classical education was being replaced by College Collusionary Research Papers like the stuff Mrs. Gay at Harvard pumped out with little or no scholarly work. Today, the information available to the public is at odds with itself for the purposes of politicians.
We need informed citizens and not people turned into Marxists who decieve for a living coming out of colleges.
To fix education, we need a conservative Teacher Program that demands the best minds and grades to create future generations of working minds.
But I digress.
