IN U.S. Nationwide AT&T Network Outage Disrupts Services for Thousands

AT&T experienced a significant network outage affecting customers across the United States, leading to widespread service disruptions. Users were unable to make calls, send texts, or access the internet. Despite similar reports from Verizon and T-Mobile users, these networks confirmed their services were operational, suggesting issues were confined to AT&T's network.

Over 64,000 outage reports were logged on DownDetector, with numbers fluctuating throughout the morning. AT&T confirmed the service interruptions without detailing the cause. The company advised customers to use Wi-Fi calling while it urgently worked on restoring services. This event marks a rare occurrence of a nationwide, prolonged service outage for AT&T, following recent sporadic disruptions, including a temporary 911 service failure in the southeastern US.
