Users in the United States are facing problems with T-Mobile and AT&T networks, as reported on Downdetector. The issue, starting on Monday evening, impacted T-Mobile customers nationwide, preventing them from making calls or using basic services. Over 80,000 problem reports were recorded.
T-Mobile stated it was swiftly working on intermittent service impacts caused by a “third-party fiber interruption,” according to Neville Ray, the network chief. Some affected users fixed their signal by toggling airplane mode on and off.
AT&T users also reported issues, and the cause and resolution timeline remain unclear. The affected customers found success in restoring signals by trying the airplane mode toggle. T-Mobile is actively resolving the problem.
