Verizon is having a big outage right now in the United States, with phones showing SOS mode for connectivity. However, my wife and I are on AT&T with iPhones and she has been unable to send or receive any texts or phone calls today and her phone has been showing SOS all day in DC, and about an hour ago, I found my phone showing SOS connectivity in an area where things are normally fine.
Is this "Verizon" outage somehow affecting AT&T as well? What we've been seeing with our phones today would seem to be quite a coincidence, if not.
Any other AT&T people seeing oddness?

Has anyone here tried Tello or Mint for cell service? Seems like a really great no contract alternative to T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T. I'm sick of paying $90/mo.

Through Hurricanes Helene and Milton, Amateur Radio Triumphs When All Else Fails
While some residents in hurricane-impacted areas can’t send texts or make calls, #AmateurRadio enthusiasts are helping communicate requests for help and messages between loved ones.
Wired
9 October"Hurricanes have wreaked havoc on the United States over the past month. More than 200 people have been confirmed dead as a result of #HurricaneHelene and many more have gone missing, making it the most destructive US hurricane since Katrina in 2005. Nearly a week after Helene made landfall, #CellService #DeadZones plagued the Carolinas, leaving thousands of residents unable to reach their friends, families, and even emergency responders. As #HurricaneMilton builds in the Gulf of Mexico this week, radio operators in #Florida are also preparing to launch their net—a group of operators communicating live over the air. Scott Roberts, an amateur radio section manager for northern Florida, said that operators in his area started checking their equipment and making plans to deploy to shelters as of Monday.
"There are more than 1 million licensed radio amateurs in the US like Witherspoon and Roberts, according to a Federal Communications Commission spokesperson who spoke to WIRED last week. Some amateur radio bands are short bands, reaching only small communities of people, while others cover hundreds and even thousands of miles. When #CommunicationInfrastructure fails, like #CellularNetworks during a natural disaster, the FCC allows for amateur radio operators to assist in recovery efforts.
"Gordon Mooneyhan, spokesperson for the American Radio Relay League, said he knows of three main #repeaters being used to convey messages inside the disaster area from Hurricane Helene, including the #MountMitchellRepeater, which is located at the highest point in #NorthCarolina at 6,600 feet and boosts localized radio broadcasts to a wider network. This is where Witherspoon read off supply requests and #RoadClosures."

Anyone else suffering the #Verizon outage today? It's a bit embarrassing how dependent I am upon my phone.
And I'm wondering if this might be Verizon's biggest outage ever. Seems like there are pockets *all over* the continental US with no service right now.
Lots of ticked of people.

"No matter what you read out there, there’s no carrier or MVNO that’s going to be perfect for everyone. It all depends on where you live, where you commute or travel to, and how you’re utilizing your service."

In 2021, @TidBITS had a positive article about Consumer Cellular. After another issue with T-Mobile, I decided to try them.
Due to a problem at T-Mobile and a problem I created by not paying attention, I spent 2.5 hours today untangling a new plan and line transfer.
Over three phone calls, the different Consumer Cellular reps were thoughtful, informative, and proactive in communicating what needed to or would happen. (1 of 2)

Anyone ever used Orange Travel Holiday packages in Belgium and/or the Netherlands? Looking at our eSIM options for cell service, and it's a strong contender. #wireless #cellphone #cellservice #europe #phone #Belgium #Netherlands

CRTC should allow true MVNOs to sell cell/mobility services w/o having to build their own infrastructure/networks as IMO its unrealistic to expect a 4th nat'l carrier. Here's a 2021 OpenMedia article that explains CRTC"s flawed April 2021 decision
