Cell service

My cell phone (ATT ) suddenly dropped out around 11.15… went to ATT … mobile service outage.! Apparently out until tomorrow….. I sincerely hope not …. Need it before then.

Yep. AT&T website reported an outage in my area. Says it should be fixed by tomorrow.
I can receive some texts, but can't send any,
I have a Google number on my computer, so I can call out/text & receive calls/texts on my computer, but most people don't have that number.
How did people survive before phones & ipads?
Will I have o spend the evening talking with my spouse???

100 credits sent!
Joe tipped PhoenixRising 100 credits for a post in this forum discussion.

@KayElleDee : Consumer Cellular rents from AT&T or T-Mobile (they supposedly have towers).

PhoenixRising : I'm getting message from some people on my iPad but not everyone in my contacts list.

sweetie : sweetie : Verizon is down too?

Lulu45 : Mine had SOS instead of bars. Couldn't text or call out. It's better now

I have AT&T and its down ; went over to Humble and it works there. Wonder if the same folks tearing down KW Drive knocked out our cell service (bad joke.....)

@JEM1234 : Yes. Same with us. I drove all over Kingwood. No cell service anywhere with AT&T cell service.

smokey545 : I had service when I was at work in Houston but as soon as I reached kw Drive right off the highway I noticed no service message.

@JEM1234: yea our AT&T is down. Saw on the site that there is an outage.

Gingersnap : Yep. FaceTime works, but not regular cell service. Go figure.
I haven't been able to text my son. He has android, so maybe that's a bit of a problem too

Hmmm, that flyer I got in the mail today from T-Mobile might entice me to buy an extra cheap phone...

Try WhatsApp

Couldn't figure out why I had SOS driving home today. Thanks for the info all.
