My Iphone is my work phone, and work is suffering, so I had fortune of monitoring it, and others' problems, closely the entire effing day. By about 6 pm most of us were getting moments of signal, followed by hours of "No Service".. I had never seen this before, and it happened so quickly, and when I called myself from work, the recording was the old classic one, which was not good for my business today b/c it says clearly you've reached a phone number that's been disconnected or no longer in service... I tried that a few times, then fumingly called AT&T, b/c I had just paid bill Feb 20. After long hold, about 20 mins, rep asked me to take my phone apart, which I had never done, so she put me on hold for about 30 mins to get tech help to take phone apart (though this had ZERO to do w/problem), while she was gone, I figured out how to get sim card out, then she came back and said she received an alert that there was an outage for 'North and South Texas', she could give no cause, no prognosis, no thoughts re:reimbursement, only shared that she was told not to answer phones now since it was an outage. It was so strange, b/c early this morning I received messages though no calls, no ringing, just straight to voicemail though my phone was on and I wasn't on it,which doesn't happen much. No fix worked for me, I just waited all day. Came back for good tonight at 7:30, but text messages that were sent to or from me were totally lost. thanks</p> Was glad to find this forum, it gave me purpose today..."No Service" from noon to 7:30 in central Houston, people from Austin, Dallas, and even one in Detroit w/Houston phone number had no voice or data service most of the day.
