Outage Causes Problems for AT& T Cellphone Customers

A local news article I happened to come by.

Outage Causes Problems for AT& T Cellphone Customers


"An equipment problem opened the door to AT&T customers in Monroe, West Monroe, and Alexandria having trouble making calls on their cell phones Friday afternoon."


Having trouble making calls Friday? They have trouble making calls all the time.


Another flub for AT&T.

Verizon 1
AT&T 0

You apparently forgot to count the recent Verizon outage -- IIRC, mainly for the east coast.

last year in feb we had a terrible ice storm that knocked a lot of people out of power and heat for over 3 weeks. att was down for several days during this emergency. all landlines were out too, the only way to make a cal was verizon to verizon. my blackberry that i had on att was worthless during this and my power was back in 24 hours but i wasnt able to call anyone to tell them to come to my house where its warm. a LOT of people in my area dropped att immediately. i stayed until recently and they never even offered us any type of credit or apology or anything. glad i switched to verizon now.
