May not be specific to iPhoneThis morning I have web access on my Q (AT&T) but no data (Outlook email, etc.). AT&T customer service says "outage in Eastern PA" but could not provide a timeframe for resolution. | |
|
|
Maybe not just for iPhone...Seems to be an outage for a large portion of the East Coast. I've had troubles in the Central NJ - Metro NY area all morning. It's on the front page of Engadget right now... | |

I am just thankful that my Iphone can use WiFi until AT&T fixes the problem on their network. | |

This is really becoming annoyingposted this at the AT&T forums so I will repost here:
Didnt work in Brooklyn and now in Manhattan.
I called customer service and was told it will probably be out until 9:00pm est. I receieved a $25 credit. Call and ask for a credit, lets keep pestering AT&T until they finally decide something needs to be done.
This is insanity. I am glad I bought a phone I can not use. I never thought I would miss Verizon and my Treo as much as I do now. | |

No 3G or Edge in D.C. MetroI can't find any data coverage in the D.C. metro area (3G or Edge). Called AT&T and was told about a major outage in the north east and mid west. | |

Out in Baltimore and BWI AirportSame here. It connects but it looks like it's an intranet here. Both Edge and 3G are affected. Called at 8am EST to check, and they said some towers were dead. I'll check on my HSDPA card, and if it turns out that's gone too, I'm calling for my credit for two lines. | |

No data connectivity in KSNo data connectivity on my iPhone here in Lawrence, KS. Outgoing voice calls still work. I'm still on the 2.0.0 firmware.
Edit: As of 11:00 am CT, data connectivity seems to be back here in KS. I am on EDGE now (1st gen iPhone). It might be a little slower than usual, but it works. | |

AT&T's Internet Can't Hide!Don't you guys love AT&T's "Internet Can't Hide" Commercials!
Duhhh of course the internet can't hide... 'cuz AT&T can't just seem to get to it hahahahahah!
Am I missing something here? But isn't this like the 6th or 7th Data services related outage that AT&T has had in like 8 months.
Work with me here, but I've had Sprint 11+ years, been using vision services (1x, evdo and evdo rev. a) since 2002 and I am yet not to be able to connect.
Can we add Unreliable Data Offerings to Poor Voice Quality to AT&T's resume? I think this new accomplishment should be listed.
Poor Voice Quality + No Data = Winner combo for America's biggest wireless provider. | |

LOL @ all the whinersI am getting a kick out of all the "I can't believe I paid $500" comments.
While it does suck that there is a network outage it isn't the end of the world.
If you want 100% guaranteed uptime buy a string and some cans.
/3G works fine here in Seattle. | |

Re: LOL @ all the whinersI agree... I'm not signing any contracts for a while. I had a friend return his iPhone as it had too many dropped calls. I have a standard 3G phone, and here in SoCal it drops calls left and right when its on 3G... works fine on plain old GSM.
AT&T - fix your 3G in SoCal! | |

If you want 100% guaranteed uptime buy a string and some cans. /3G works fine here in Seattle. Why? I expect it to work. 3G is down, Edge is not connecting either. Another co-workers Blackberry Curve is working fine. They made a big deal about being able to use the iPhone with Exchange and it is not working. I expect something to work, pretty plain and simple. I have given SWB-Cingular-AT&T more than enough money over the years. If a consultant of mine doesn't work out, I hear about it and correct the problem. AT&T should do the same. My $100 Blackberry would be working now. My $500 iPhone is not. Cut and dry to me. | |

What incentive does AT&T have if you keep giving them money? You have to almost become like a Nextel/Sprint customer and start a mass exodus or they'll never fix anything. | |

I am not sure what you have to do to prove they are not providing service - I am not even sure that would matter as I believe their lawyers put plenty of weasel words in the contracts. | |

But from an issue about a year ago with TONS of dropped calls they notated the account for the "get out of jail free" card. I verified today it is still active. | |

Re: LOL @ all the whinersMy account is at the end of its contract (ends officially Sept 7) I don't plan to sign into contract under any carrier for a while. If it continues, I may have to switch. AT&T actually called me up today as I sent them many messages about 3G/GSM dropped calls lately. Their own support wasn't even aware of the local sites that have been down for 3G for more than the past week. On the flip side, AT&T reps (office of the president) have informed me that they'll be deploying 850MHz 3G in December in my part of SoCal. | |

It's not the end of the world. I understand that stuff happens and I was credited for the downtime. I started in 1996 with Southwestern Bell, who was then Cingular, who is now AT&T. Overall their service has been great. But when it affects my work emails, etc then that is where I get a bit ticked. | |

STL outageNo data on my iPhone this morning in St. Louis, SMS and phone still worked. A quick Google search showed that some people were getting $25 account credits after calling AT&T. I called and was told it was an "iPhone problem". I said no it isn't, I'm looking at the internet and it's a nationwide problem. The rep said they would "note my account for credit" but would not give me one right away. I said "LOL" and asked for a supervisor. Got the $25 account credit no problem! Still no iPhone internets | |
