AT&T outage in North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee
AT&T appears to be down in at least parts of North Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee right now, but luckily TiPb readers still have land lines to light up our alert lines. We're not sure whether it's voice, data, or both as we're getting lots of different reports. If you're having a problem with your iPhone on AT&T, let us know where you are, what kind of service outages you're experiencing, and if you've heard anything from AT&T.

At least one news agency picking it up. Affected states noted so far are NC, TN and parts of GA. Though lots in GA reporting theirs is getting better. The outages range from no service to only outgoing calls to only emergency calls.
Greensboro, NC and I have no problems.
Having huge problems in NC. Phone just says No Service no matter where I go.
All Cool In Nashville.
In Memphis. No problems.
I am in Chattanooga, TN no problems here.
doing pretty solid here south of nashville
I'm in Charlottesville, VA but have an NC 910 number. Receiving texts but no calls.
Pay your bill.
ft bragg my phone just sez no service and i went to the at&t store the lady saild service is out all over nc
Outage is NC since 730am, on personal + business cell, both voice and data.
I don't gave any outage notifications yet from ATT....
No service here in Goldsboro,Nc.
in Wilmington, N.C. UNCW sent a mass email about three hours ago saying that AT&T had confirmed a huge service outage with no estimates as to when it will be restored. My iPhone4 hasn't had service since about 7:00am, no calls, no texts, though Wi-Fi internet seems to be working. My brother has an LG Shine and can make calls, but no idea if he can receive them.
On a personal note, I'm sure AT&T is doing everything they can to fix the problem, and I wouldn't harrass their customer service reps about it - but we pay a lot of money for these cell phones, it would be nice if they would function reliably.
Fayetteville, NC - Major problems. No calls or texts getting through with an occasional (rarely and VERY short term) exceptions. Can't get through on landline to AT&T cell customer in West Virginia.
Just don't hold it that way.

I'm in Greenville NC both voice and data are non existent on the iPhone. My girlfriend has a feature phone and has voice and text. I just called my boss who has an iPhone, he has full service.... So who knows what's going on!

Absolutely no service in Laurinburg, NC.
No problems in Louisville, KY
All fine in Norcross GA
Problems in St. Louis, MO twice today. I've had the iPhone 4 since July 2 with no problems until today. My phone went into "Searching..." mode instead of 3G, and even once showed E (for Edge service). Happened at 11:40am CT and again at 12:45pm CT. Perhaps it was intermittent or consistent, but those are the times that I could not make a call, got cut from a call, or could not send a txt msg.
All's well in Northeast TN.
iPhone has said NO SERVICE and Searching all day since about 9:00am this morning in a part of North East Ohio.
Things seem in for my wireless service here in Savannah GA
Solid service in Nashville and M'boro all day.
No service at all in Spring Lake, NC or on Ft Bragg
@Erik what up guy? I'm in pdx too. 3G/3GS? Make sure ur sim cartridge is pushed all the way in. Should make the message go away. Drop it recently?
Just came online in Ft Bragg
no service in Eastern, NC
Raleigh checking in. Sorry to inform Verizon lovers and AT&T haters that we're live and well with many (algorithmically skewed) bars.
No problems in N. Fulton (Georgia) in 30022
The tower that provides service in my town (VT) has been down for almost a week.
No service in Holly Ridge, NC... since early AM... went out in the middle of a phone call... Hubby at Camp Lejeune has service... really weird...
Out in New Bern, NC since about 7:30AM today. No voice/text/data. Phone shows "No Service"!!!!!!
I saw this in that movie The Crazies. Watched it last and now it's happening!!
Ok in Graham, NC - more bars than b4 - yipee!
I had the same problem yesterday in south Florida. I know there were many users like me in the area.
No problems in Nashville
Have service here in Durham, NC. We did lose our Time Warner cable though
No problems in Snellville, GA. Which is about 20 minutes outside Atlanta.
No problems in Charlotte, NC.
On the other hand, my power (and AC!) is out.
I am in asheville nc and we are fine. signal has been kind of week since i updated the new antannae software.
No problem here in CA. harharhar
In Atlanta, GA. No problems here either.
3g went out in ATL from about 845 til 945. But it was weird. First my voice and data went out. So I turned 3g off put phone in airplane mode and then took it out and edge lit up and voice and data was restored. But, as soon as I turned 3g on I lost voice and data again. I repeated this a few times with same results. It's wasn't til 945 that 3g started working again. iPhone 3gs 3.1.3
@Jo2reco: Where in ATL? No problems all day. Midtown here.
Yup Fayetteville NC here woke up to no service and sporatic text and vm showing up went to att and it was a mad house, had sign on door said " at this moment their is a network outage" customer service rep was feilding customer complaints with no answers to why or when will be back up! But it looks like now service is back up! crossing fingers oh and it was data and voice!
In Bath, Eastern NC. Data service fine. No voice since early AM and nothing from AT&T.
It's was this morning I was coming down 85 from lilburn but it only lasted about an hour. I just stopped trying until I got to kennesaw
Im in kendall sw of Miami, and the network was down yesterday morning...... Is att working on its towers???
No cell phone service in Wilmington since 9 this morning and still out at 3pm.
I'm in Atlanta and I'm still getting voice coverage. I have cellular data and 3G off though as I'm using WiFi.
Sandhills NC here no service since 6:00 am. Att sucks!!!!
Eastern NC, hour east of Raleigh. No service in Entire area from Raleigh to outer banks, south to wilmington, north to VA line. major outage, at&t canned response is rolling outages. It started at 8am EST, no voice/no data
In Durham, NC. Just made a voice call with my iPhone, no problem.
No problems in Salisbury NC (outside of Charlotte). Matter of fact I just got off the phone 15 min ago.
I my service goes out a few times a day here in LA and when I called AT&T they told me that there were updating their cell towers, it's funny how this has been going on for about 2 months... Any1 has the same prob out here in LA?
If you were affected by this. Call ATT and complain. Last time I lost 3G for 20 minutes they actually credited my entire calling plan for the month. Still had to pay data and SMS. But hey. It's worth it.
3:35PM here in Fayetteville, NC and still no service!
No service in Rocky Mount, NC since 7:30 this AM. Still deader than a doornail at 3:36 PM. Maybe ATT is making Rocky Mount 3G, and hell is freezing over at the same time.
Havelock NC....I have had no service all day....very frustrating especially when you do not have a landline for back up!!! Finally got to the local ATT retail store and found out why from the note posted on the front door...they better give me some credit for this outage!
Still no service in Hampstead, though I've heard rumors that some people in Wilmington are getting service back
My AT&T cell phone service in Pinehurst NC has been out since 8am this morning ;-( I'm not sure about the status of AT&T's data network service locally, as my iPhone connects to the internet via my home wireless network.
Wilson/Elm City area, no service from 8am this morning. I finally have (3:42pm) AT&T with the E but no signal bars. Still can not call or text!
Service pops in and out around fort Bragg but doesn't hold a signal for more than 10 seconds
BTW, does anyone here know how to find out when AT&T will have 3G service in Pinehurst NC? Or is that just a pipedream?
Still no service--makes it inconvenient when people do not use a land phone--Have sevice problems when I go to Charleston SC area.
In Wilmington, NC. Have not received a call all day though I can make them. Phone mostly displays strong signal and call quality is decent aside from an occasional high pitched sound/sporadic static on the line. As far as I know txt is working just no calls coming in.
Phoenix, AZ is all good
I am in Wilmington, NC and have full Service but my family is in Magnolia, NC about 56 miles away and they have no service. Att gave us a small credit but this has gone on all day I am going to try and get some more credit. This is ridiculously my family has no land line.
My service just came back on in Fayetteville, NC. Full signal on my BlackBerry. Finally!!!
And it went back out two minutes later....the saga continues!
No service in the Morehead City area but I have a micro cell tower I use at my house with my iPhone and everything works fine. Still no service outside of my tower area.
New Bern, NC here, no voice or data since about 8 this morning, and it is now 4 and I'm still SOL.
Service finally back up @ 3:30
It appears to be something to do with edge or 2g. If you disable 3G or have a phone without 3G the consensus of people around here is no service at all. If you have 3g enabled you have signal and can make calls but cant receive them. In areas where yer sitting on low signal and it jumps from 3g to edge back and forth people are seeing no service, service bounce back and forth. Looks like the emergency only messages come from when the 3g circuits fill up and it fails to drop back to edge to complete a call. Again this is only an observation.
I'm in Raleigh, NC. My land line was down this morning, but came up before noon. I never had issues with my iPhone.
Just spoke with AT&T. They said the towers in those states were stolen by pikeys and anticipate the outage for 4 more weeks.
AT&T CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID 4 MORE WEEKS OF OUTAGE.
In Wilmington, 2.5 miles from Wrightsville beach, ATT cell phone out all day; land line went out yesterday. ATT says land line won't be fixed until tomorrow.
lost service between phone calls. received a call at 7:28 am edt. couldn't dial at 7:38 am edt. still no service (4:13 pm edt).
Nothing here in Greenville, NC. Why won't they release a statement or something????
In New Bern, NC. Haven't had any service since this a.m. Haven't heard from AT&T at all and can't find any news on CNN or Fox News. Mercy ME!!!!
I think my service has been out since I got up around 7am. I looked at my phone and it looked funny, I didn't think much of it until I tried to make a call and BAM no service.
My service has been out since I woke up at 7am here in New Bern and it's still out (4:20pm). The only town that has service is the small town of havelock which oddly enough is the only town along 70 that has 3g
My cell is my only phone line I have, if my service isn't up by night fall thursday I'll be with Verizon by friday...
now, now, genteel folk. at&t has a very good track record with me. verizon & us cell doesn't work downeast (nc) where i live. they'll keep my business. makes me appreciate them more.
back up @ 4:25 pm edt. now it won't stop ringing! LOL!
3G enabled but no 3G. Alternates between zero bars on Edge and Searching. At least the NO SERVICE line has quit popping!
I'm in Southern Pines/Pinehurst - no wireless service whatsoever - ALL DAY!
In Pinehurst, NC have had no service since early this morning. Went by AT&T office at 3:30 PM. They have no information as to what the problem is or when service will be restored. Just another reason for Apple to add other service providers.
Still No service in the Pinehurst area at 4:30PM, and no word from AT&T. It did work in Raleigh when I was in a 3G area.
AT&T is horrible here all the time , but ususally you can go to a spot where there is coverage - not today!!(we are not part of the 97% AT&T commertcials brag about.)
AT&T is the worst! Can't wait until my contract is up.
