  • AT&T was facing a massive outage today, with service being unable for several hours.
  • The issue appears to have been resolved, and the service is coming back online.

It seems AT&T was experiencing a widespread outage, with customers across the country not getting a signal. As a result, users were unable to make calls, send messages, or access data. We’re seeing reports on X (formerly known as Twitter) and Reddit and a big spike on DownDetector.

From the user reports, the outage seems to have affected those using eSIMs. Since recent iPhones in the US have been eSIM-only, there is a chance that iPhone users are disproportionately affected. The outage also appears to have been nationwide. Users had been affected for as long as six hours.
