There is a Reddit thread on the subject and the consensus seems to be it’s just for TMo users. People on other carriers who seemingly can’t make calls are trying to reach TMo users.
Wifi calling isn’t working either, texts I sent to my wife hours ago are finally arriving.

And that’s why the wife and I are both on different carriers, hoping if one goes down the other one might work work.

I am not finding that to be true so far unfortunately. Comcast cable phones should be working still if it was a T-Mobile thing. I have staff on many services and they are trying to contact work and get data from a service called Duo. It’s all failing still. Denver metro area

Probably unrelated, but I received a text last week in Chinese letters. When I mentioned it to the sender, he said that it was English on his side. When I copied it and texted it back, it looked different to him on his side. Then he copied it and resent it to me and it looked different from what I had sent him.

When I was working in Kuwait around 6 years ago, every so often there would be widespread internet outages across the whole Gulf because some DA cargo ship captain would snag the huge undersea fiber cable with the ship's anchor and break it. It would take about 4-5 days to get it repaired.

Update: I’m getting some hit and miss success with my staff getting back into work mode, but even then it is very unstable. The weird thing is you restart the phone and have about 30-45 seconds to do something before utility is gone. So 1 text 1 dial out etc. you would think the drops at that point but it doesn’t. Once connected you are good to go. But if you are not fast you have to start all over again.

Sounds like if you drop the phones down to 3G rather than 4G/LTE in the network settings you might have a solid connection.

Thousands of T-Mobile, Metro by T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint customers all reported outages in areas including Florida, Georgia, New York, and California on Monday afternoon.

The disruptions were part of a large-scale distributed denial-of-service, or DDoS, attack meant to overwhelm an online service with multiple traffic sources to render it unusable, according to Pop Culture.
Nearly 100,000 T-Mobile customers claimed they were having phone problems just before 3pm, according to Downdetector.com.
Digital Attack Map shared a visualization of the massive-scale breach that included more than 200 attacks directed at the US.
The map was then shared by hacktivist collective Anonymous, who sounded the alarm on the widespread attack moments after it occurred.
Affected areas included Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, New York, and Los Angeles, KNBC reported.
Larger-scale DDoS attacks similar to Monday's don't happen often, according to Pop Culture.
The last attack of comparable size occurred in March 2019, which stopped Facebook users from being able to access the website for a period of time.
T-Mobile was trending Monday afternoon as several unloaded their frustrations on Twitter.
"T-Mobile not working is going on my list of why 2020 needs a reset," said Betty Martinez.
"T-Mobile having call issues. What's going on T-Mobile, you keep having issues and it's frustrating," said Ebru Gunclu-Stancu,
"I didn't switch from AT&T to you guys to keep having my phone line down."
"T-Mobile CEO reacting to death threats from customers whose phones aren't working..." tweeted one user.
"So T-Mobile, Sprint and Verizon are out all across the nation because, apparently, we're under a cyber attack???? Yeah sounds about 2020," wrote another.
Neville Ray, T-Mobile's technology president, reassured customers that the company's engineers were working to fix the problem just before 4:30pm.
"Our engineers are working to resolve a voice and data issue that has been affecting customers around the country," Ray tweeted on Monday.
"We're sorry for the inconvenience and hope to have this fixed shortly.
Sprint, AT&T, and Verizon have not released statements on the reported outages.

I’m on TMo in the Phoenix, AZ metro area. Experienced one delayed text where I received the text almost an hour after it was sent (sender is on AT&T). Otherwise, no other problems here.

So long as my amazon order arrives when they said it would I’m good, personally I hate phones much to the chagrin of Orion Commander, my brother, etc.

Probably. We had a devil of a time today with the primary issues and all the cascading side effects. I’m hoping tomorrow is better.

My cell phone is working fine, but my landline with cable acting odd. Last wk i was able to get the courts number call fine. It's a local number. Today monday when i dialed it i couldn't get through. I got a recording that said to dial "one" first. When i did that all i got was a busy signal. I called another court number and lady said she can get them and said to try the cell phone. When i did that i got them fine. So my landline is acting up, but cell is fine. She told me "something is wrong with your phone." Odd. I'm in NY state.

Your landline may bounce to a switch in the affected area, but your cell call will be routed in another direction that works ok.
I wonder if "emergency sex" is the same thing as "panic sex"?Well, it was an emergency. I was feeling quite horn-doggish.
Paging helen.

Feels like someone went Galt and left the router config updates to the second string.
When I was in that business, standard procedure was to update router configs on Mondays. And there were a couple days where those guys ****ed up the configs and brought down large chunks of the network.

Just tried to call my mom. I'm using cellphone (AT&T) and she was on her land line. Right in the middle of the conversation, the call was dropped. I tried to call her back for about 20 minutes and there was nothing. Finally got her and she said she was trying to call me but couldn't get through.
