Louisiana Experiencing Massive Cell Phone Outage
You might be waking up this morning not being able to receive or make calls on your cell phone, especially if you have AT&T.
According to a recent CNN report, over 44,000 AT&T customers have reported outages. But this may not be a comprehensive number, as this only accounts for those who have actually reported their outage to the website DownDetector.
AT&T customers are reporting having "No Bars" and being in SOS mode, but can still make and receive calls if they are on a wifi system.
The outage is not confined to just north Louisiana. San Fransisco's Department of Emergency Management messaged on X that though they are experiencing issues, the 911 system is still funtional.
AT&T has not responded to questions as to the cause of the outage. Customers are still able to make and receive calls via Wifi calling.

AT&T isn't the only carrier that has been affected. Verizon, and T-Mobile customers are also reporting outages.
According to a recent FoxNews report:
The outages started popping up just before 3:30 a.m. ET, according to a graph shown on the website that tracks outages.
Most users, 55%, say they are having issues with mobile phone service. More than a third of customers reporting being affected say they have no signal at all, and 8% of users say their mobile internet is down.
