Hey, hey Old Mexico, we’ve become you, but we don’t wanna know.... :)

OK, you win the thread!

73k, maybe double that as you say. 49.6% of Americans use AT+T so as a percentage that doesn’t sound “massive”.

Had had a land line in over 15 years. Never think about it.

[SaxxonWoods]

Haven’t had a land line in 15 years I meant. Verizon working here.

It’s definitely regional ... not national.

[SaxxonWoods]

Thanks.

Actually, I may have caused this by being 5 days late on paying my bill.

My ATT cell phone is working just fine.

My wife and I are with verizon, but the same happens to us. Same house, same phone, across table at a restaurant, no tic tock. We are keeping verizon.

“ Her phone can’t make calls or send texts through.”

Our DC area county emergency services sent out text messages telling us our phones don’t work.

DEI hires, no doubt…..

Have they blamed Trump yet?

Get your amateur license. There are many apps, some free that offer the tests (tech, general and extra) Hamstudy.org is free IIRC. Michael Burnett (?) has a series of audio books, "Fast Track to Your License" Those are excellent resources. The Tech level and even the General Level one can memorize the answers to the questions and pass quite comfortably. Extra requires knowing cerrtain math formulas. General will give you all privledges on all bands, Extra gives you a smidge more band on those frequencies. Tech is limited to 10 meters (28Mhz) on HF voice, (SSB) and all priveledges on VHF/UHF CW is allowed for Tech use on all bands CW (Morse Code) is no longer a requirement to pass the test. Good Luck and 73!

I got a cell phone call ten minutes ago on the AT&T net.

[BipolarBob]

I’m still without service.

We just switched from Verizon to Pure Talk, which runs on T-Mobile lines. I’ve had “SOS” on my phone since I woke up this morning.

Might be time. I had a Third Phone (third class radiotelephone operator’s license) back in the day but it is long expired.
