T-Mobile just confirmed that there is a global outage affecting voice services. Users are unable to make/receive phone calls. Seems to be nationwide. -- "Careful, we don't want to learn from this!" --Calvin & Hobbes |

| Yeah being covered here »T-Mobile Network is Entirely down
That's wild though. How can an ENTIRE network just go down? I assume there has to be layers of redundancy. -- The early bird catches the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese. CPL:IA;ASEL/AMEL. CFI:ASE/AME; IA |

@comcast.net | reply to snipper_cr Their website seems to be failing as well. Wonder if it was some sort of DDOS against them? |

| reply to almex Re: [T-Mobile] Global outage
My bb started this morning with all calls going straight to my vm. Rebooted and seemed fine. Then around 4:00 today, it started again.
I can call out to anybody not on T-Mobile and can get calls from people not using t-mobile.
I also have T-Mobile hotspot and same thing there. Can't call or talk to anyone with t-mobile.
Mine is also showing GSM instead of EDGE!
ARGH! and I was going to update my software tonight because I've been having problems with dropping calls whenever I go from wifi to EDGE.
I've about had it with this company and I thought Verizon was bad.....although I will say it is nice to talk to customer service in the states with T-Mobile....never got an American with Verizon during the years that I used them. |

| reply to almex I can't receive calls, or dial to t-mobile cell phones (only carrier I've tried), but I can call to landline phones. Wonder if they'll do anything to compensate. I know last month my data plan was free because of the sidekick thing. Didn't really bother me because my sidekick broke a year ago and I kept the plan because of the unlimited texting for about the same price. |

1 edit | reply to almex Looks like it is just about fixed. I am now showing "uma" (not caps), and am able to make/receive calls.
Edit: Now I'm back to UMA and everything is working normally. -- "Careful, we don't want to learn from this!" --Calvin & Hobbes |
