Tens of thousands of U.S. customers from Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T are complaining Thursday morning about the lack of wireless service or interruptions to service.
According to data from problem tracking site Downdetector more than 73,000 AT&T customers from multiple states - including North Carolina, Louisiana, Texas, and Florida, reported a lack of service.
The San Francisco Fire Department published a "Cell phone service outage" announcement saying that "AT&T wireless customers can't make or receive any phone calls."
Other AT&T users in California, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, and South Carolina, say that they have no mobile service.
An AT&T representative told BleepingComputer that service interruptions this morning are affecting some of its customers and that the company is "Working urgently to restore service to them."
The company confirmed this to BleepingComputer adding that "Some customers experienced issues this morning when calling or texting with customers served by another carrier."
