3G and Edge working fine in Oklahoma City…..so far.
February 2nd, 2009 at 4:16 pm
Typical service in the Dallas – Fort Worth area.
February 2nd, 2009 at 4:24 pm
My friend tolled me today at school (iPhone 3G) that she couldn’t get either edge or 3G it may of been just edge. We are located in Missouri.
February 2nd, 2009 at 4:28 pm
Edge and 3g is fine so far in DFW and up to one hour north in Sherman,TX.
February 2nd, 2009 at 4:32 pm
I’m in Houston and my 3g was down. I could not access the app store or use pandora.
February 2nd, 2009 at 4:33 pm
Out here in New Orleans Louisiana we not having outages but we just started to have a 3g dropping problem. I called AT&T and they had the nerve to tell me that it’s suppose to do that, and did I mention that the problem just started but they say it’s suppose to do that? It’s pissing me off. Follow me on Twitter – ballerb
February 2nd, 2009 at 4:34 pm
All is FUBARed in San Antonio. I haven’t had access for hours.
February 2nd, 2009 at 4:36 pm

Houston is still down.
February 2nd, 2009 at 4:43 pm

February 2nd, 2009 at 4:48 pm
Thousands of miles away, in northern MA, the same problems were experienced
February 2nd, 2009 at 4:48 pm
Also had an unreported outage in Ny yesterday afternoon my girlfriend and I had no 3g service from 3 pm to 8 pm good job at&t.
February 2nd, 2009 at 4:48 pm
I’m in the spring area of Houston and the 3G seems to be back now.
February 2nd, 2009 at 4:49 pm

Houston area was down today for a while…of course when I needed it. Seems to be back up now though
February 2nd, 2009 at 5:56 pm
Baton Rouge, LA 3G has been seriously iffy for the past 2 months! Signal will completely vanish at times, yet iPhones will not switch over to Edge. One has to manually switch, (thought my iPhone was suposed to handle that automatically!
February 2nd, 2009 at 5:57 pm
I am having issues here in the fort worth, tx area.

February 2nd, 2009 at 7:44 pm
Gizmodo updated their site saying it affected people in south Texas…people like cjvitek…:0
February 2nd, 2009 at 7:59 pm
Thank you Mike M for telling us that everything is OK in Middle Tennessee. That is so very pertinent to this story.
February 2nd, 2009 at 8:25 pm
Austin was down starting around 9:30am today. I flew to Houston and it was out there too. Finally came back around 6pm
February 2nd, 2009 at 9:09 pm

February 2nd, 2009 at 10:53 pm
No edge in Odessa texas on first gen iPhone, but 3g fine
February 2nd, 2009 at 11:51 pm
Austin, TX has intermittent issues with Edge and Visual Voicemail all day. VM delayed hours late — and no signal or access on Edge. 3G slow all afternoon. And voice coverage and artifacts waaaaay unacceptable. Gee I miss GTE Mobilnet.
February 3rd, 2009 at 12:00 am
I think it’s bull shut how we pay $39.99 for this so called “#1 data plan” that’s down 25% of the time…lower the rate if we’re going to keep having downtime! I use this as a bussiness line and if it’s not working like it should he, I’M SCREWED!! AT&T get your act together, this isin’t the first time!!
February 3rd, 2009 at 12:39 am
edge never works for me here in Boston…. get full bars but i always get the “not connected to internet” popup….. seriously annoying as this is supposed to be an “always-connected” phone :-/
February 3rd, 2009 at 9:23 am
Blackberries had issues here in Houston also.
February 3rd, 2009 at 7:39 pm
In Panhandle, Lubbock, TX to be exact
GO Raiders!
I’ve had the issue these past few days of my texts not being received by different people (T-Mobile and Verizon)!
—jailbroken iPhone 2G
February 4th, 2009 at 2:58 pm
I have AT&T with a BB Bold (3G) and started having signal strength issues yesterday and today is not better. IT goes from 3G down to no signal and then GPRS in a matter of seconds. I have had several dropped calls in areas I should have a full 3G signal. Screw At&T!
February 4th, 2009 at 3:17 pm
Edge down on my original iphone the last 2 days in Houston, Tx normal cell service ok
February 4th, 2009 at 4:47 pm
EDGE is down in San Antonio again. Blackberry email service is also out again just as both were out on Monday. After EDGE connection was back Monday afternoon, it was not until about 9 P.M. that blackberry email service was back up.
February 4th, 2009 at 4:48 pm
I meant to also say that regular voice service over GSM is working on
February 4th, 2009 at 5:12 pm
Houston, No Service, 2 days of issues. I want my T-Mobile phone back!
February 4th, 2009 at 5:15 pm
Still down in Houston, Texas also. It’s 4:19 been down for about an hour here, I’m in a household with two different cell phones with at&t. What’s going on? We have no house line, we depend on our cellphones.
February 4th, 2009 at 5:16 pm
Called AT&T and sat through a half hour of useless troubleshooting, then they admitted that there is a problem in north and south Texas that will affect data, could affect voice. There is of course no estimated time for it to be fixed. They are currently checking other things, but said that they will be also checking for compensation (i.e. a credit to my bill). I will post back and let you guys know if I got the credit and how much it is.
February 4th, 2009 at 5:34 pm
Now they have said that this known problem has been an open issue since Monday. They will be calling me back in 48 hours and will talk about compensation at that time. They gave me a ticket number and a “commitment” to call me back Friday. The lady has made it sound like they would give me a credit now, but if the outage lasts longer, the credit would be larger. I guess I should have mentioned that I am positng this all over the internet and maybe I could have gotten some hush money.
February 4th, 2009 at 5:34 pm
Maybe I shoudl also bill them fo rthe 45 minutes that I spent on the phone with them
February 4th, 2009 at 5:41 pm
Iphone is just a brick in Houston, has been spotty ever since Monday.
February 4th, 2009 at 5:53 pm
I did some googling around and it seems that at&t has in the past gave a credit for each day of service that there was a problem. With a bill around $160 and 28 days this month that is a credit of $5.71 per day.
It’s too bad that the reverse logic does not work. For example, if I turn my phone off and do not use it for a day, I am still charged for it. I would think that credit should be more than one day’s worth of service since I have not only wasted my time on the phone with them, but I have also missed many phone calls and email’s
February 4th, 2009 at 11:11 pm
Houston AT&T – mine has been down all day. really pissing me off. I’m hoping I can get some credit also. at least when I disable 3g through settings I can get a few bars, but anytime I turn 3g back on, my signal is completely lost.
February 4th, 2009 at 11:22 pm
Houston AT&T – still down. Thought it was my phone/account earlier, so visited AT&T store. They had an email at 3:09pm that said north and south Texas were down due due to a cable cut. This guys have big redundancy issues. I thought they wrote the book on 99.999 (five nines)? Guess they laid those guys off.
February 5th, 2009 at 1:00 pm
Houston AT&T – you would think they would at least notify their customers about a service issue. right?
February 5th, 2009 at 1:06 pm
although mine appears to be working again. =)
February 5th, 2009 at 3:10 pm
New Orleans Airport – Service just dropped about 1:45 CST. No Service shows on phone. Go to airplane mode and back and it searches but comes back No Service.
February 5th, 2009 at 6:42 pm
Austin, Tx: Shows a few bars, but no connectivity for voice or data.
February 5th, 2009 at 8:45 pm
Austin, TX: Extremely slow to no data (3g or Edge) during the day for the past 3 days. Girlfriend and I are seeing the same issues on 2 seperate iphones. ATT said they are having network issues this week in my area and they expect to be resolved by tomorrow and advised I can call back then for compensation if it’s back up. What’s annoying is having to spend hours on the phone being bounced around before someone acknowledges the problem. The least they could do is tell there own cust service reps about service outages so customers aren’t being bounced around and asked to needlessly troubleshoot their phones.
February 6th, 2009 at 9:18 am
I have ATT & I’m in Manhattan(work) & Brooklyn (home) & my service has been out since yesterday afternoon. I called and they told me service was down and couldn’t give me a definite time as to when it was going to be fixed. “Normally, within a day or two.” My iPhone simply says “No Service.” UGH!
February 6th, 2009 at 4:41 pm
Dallas area: – iphone has no service Blackjack works just fine. ATT advises ‘they are experiencing some difficulties in my area’ but no idea when this will be fixed. Seems strange that it effects some phones but not all. . . .
February 7th, 2009 at 5:25 pm
Austin, TX: No service signals (iphone edge) in the downtown area yesterday and today.
February 9th, 2009 at 10:20 am
So a followup to last week. AT&T did call me back with an offer to reimburse me for my DATA plan only for the days that were affected. Grand total: $4.
I told the lady that this was not cool and that I had already spent over an hour on the phone with her. Also, since voice was admittedly affected as well, I wanted a reimbursement for that too. She said that she only dealt with the data plans and that she could transfer me to someone else.
I probably should have done it, but I was tired of being on the phone. Whatever.
February 25th, 2009 at 3:58 pm
North & South Texas AT&T wireless OUTAGE, voice and data… AT&T didn’t even know about it, so I had to take Iphone apart, wait on hold for over 30 minutes, be transferred all over, only to find that Eureka! It’s an outage, covering ‘north and south texas’, and no matter what I asked regarding cause, compensation, prognosis, the answer was always that she doesn’t know. ARGH
February 25th, 2009 at 4:01 pm
Regarding above outage, I’m in the middle of Houston.
February 25th, 2009 at 4:32 pm
I’m in San Antonio. I lost coverage less than an hour ago. The phone simply says “No Service” where the edge/3g bar normally is. I have’t heard anything but I’m guessing it’s an outage.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:01 pm
NorthEast Houston, Been down for about 15 min. Suckage.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:02 pm
Data down in Dallas… fun
February 25th, 2009 at 5:03 pm
I’m in Dallas, been down for about an hour, just says “No Service” and calls can’t come in or go out.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:08 pm
down in austin, TX… can’t make or receive calls… been this way for at least 30 minutes.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:16 pm
now all services are down… funner
February 25th, 2009 at 5:27 pm
back up 4:34pm
February 25th, 2009 at 5:30 pm
I’m a little surprised none of the news outlets (that I’ve seen anyway) have pickup up on this. I went by a store, they gave me an ETA or 5pm. Anyone have anything more concrete?
February 25th, 2009 at 5:37 pm
Still no service in north Austin at 4:43.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:50 pm
No service still, voice or data, in central houston. No ETA from AT&T. Once in a while the ‘no service’, which I’ve never seen before today noon, changes to searching, and once said At&T for about 5 mins, then went back to no service, where it’s stayed for last hour. Rep @ ATT said she learned of this while I was on phone w/her, and now was told not to answer calls!
February 25th, 2009 at 5:52 pm
“No Service” status for the last 45 minutes in Laredo, TX area.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:53 pm
Voice just came back up in Dallas @ 4:59pm, but I think data is still down.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:55 pm
Spoke too soon, I just went down again, back to “No Service”.
February 25th, 2009 at 6:01 pm
I even got a few msgs during the 5 mins window when it was up, but always directly from voicemail, no ring. Then it went down again in the middle of msg retrieval. Callers don’t get a ring, even if they can leave a msg, but mostly they receive classic 3 notes, then woman saying the # is no longer in service, so there’s no default msg that kicks in to tell callers they’ve called a good number. This makes for business problems, as if there weren’t enough already!
February 25th, 2009 at 6:04 pm
Still ‘no service’ in Fort Worth Texas for me. Sporadically it will come back, but then disappears as quickly as it came back. I only switched over to AT&T a week or so ago… this isn’t boding well.
February 25th, 2009 at 6:07 pm
Still “no service”
February 25th, 2009 at 6:26 pm
houston – same story – still dead
February 25th, 2009 at 6:55 pm
No Service and Searching for network since 1pm. I have a iphone3g and tried restoring device thinking it was another issue. That failed so I went to an apple store and the rep told me that network issues throughout ATT have plagued all customers and people keep coming in complaining about no service.
February 25th, 2009 at 6:55 pm
Oh Im in Frisco area of North Dallas
February 25th, 2009 at 6:57 pm
Still no service in South Austin
February 25th, 2009 at 7:00 pm
Still no service in West Austin.
February 25th, 2009 at 7:07 pm
Still no service in NW Houston.
February 25th, 2009 at 7:07 pm
EDGE/3G still down east of Dallas (Greenville), but wife’s phone on GPRS is working.
February 25th, 2009 at 7:07 pm
Am in Detroit with a Houston Number and it is out for me. The apple guy i spoke with said that he has received 6 calls for the same reason over the last hour
February 25th, 2009 at 7:13 pm
San Antonio service is out on EDGE/3G
February 25th, 2009 at 7:19 pm
North Houston still down.
A while ago it went to 1 bar, now its “searching…”
February 25th, 2009 at 7:32 pm
Last month it was because someone cut through some cables in Dallas? Has anyone heard what the deal is now?
February 25th, 2009 at 7:34 pm
North Houston here, looks like I got bars, data and email seems to be working again, but still no voice, I get a busy signal when dialing to my iPhone from a landline. Barely switched to AT&T 2 weeks ago, not a good start.
February 25th, 2009 at 7:34 pm
No service in Dallas. I was number 64 going into the AT&T store with the same problem. They said they didn’t know what was wrong, but that the problem was supposed to be fixed an hour ago.
February 25th, 2009 at 7:36 pm
dam..this sucks..still “no service” for the last 3 hours…does this kind of stuff usually happen…how much longer?!
February 25th, 2009 at 7:36 pm
no service in the Clear Lake Area towards Galveston
February 25th, 2009 at 7:40 pm
I’m in Houston. I went and manually turned off 3G and I got service. First time in hours. When I spoke to ATT complaining about my friends having service, (yes with the iphone too) the persons response was, “well it hasn’t hit them yet.” – To that, “Is this a wild fire?”
February 25th, 2009 at 7:42 pm
My sister’s iphone(3g) is working fine..still has service…guess only “certain” iphones are feeling the discomfort, like mine…
February 25th, 2009 at 7:43 pm
Lets hope this problem gets fixed soon, I wouldnt be surprised if it was probably some worker who tripped on a cable, sarcasm aside, is it just me or are big companies having down time? AT&T today, Google down yesterday, its funny how a little insignificant thing can bring large networks down.
February 25th, 2009 at 7:45 pm
We are DOWN – NO SERVICE in Austin, TX:( BOOOOO.
February 25th, 2009 at 7:46 pm
So my last good report was premature, but I seem to have voice and data back with full signal in D/FW over by the airport. Hopefully it lasts and starts to propagate quickly…
February 25th, 2009 at 7:55 pm
SA is up and running for the moment.
February 25th, 2009 at 7:58 pm
Laredo, Tx is up in running for the last 5 minutes…I turned off my 3g signal..not sure if that has anything to do with it..ill keep u posted
February 25th, 2009 at 8:08 pm
I am getting intermittent service in Forth Worth on an off again voice and data. When it is on again I don’t get 3g only edge. Wish I would have seen this string earlier before I restored my whole phone.
February 25th, 2009 at 8:08 pm
I’m back up in West Austin
February 25th, 2009 at 8:10 pm
Oh here is the crazy thing. I turned off the 3g in the settings. Was getting full strength voice. Was curious so I went to turn on the 3g, and bam no service.
February 25th, 2009 at 8:13 pm
After doing a reset of my network settings, things seem to be back online. Go to Settings->General->Reset->Reset Network Settings
February 25th, 2009 at 8:16 pm
Yeah I have done this too, I have also “reseated my sim”….but now as I type this I have 3G yippeee…maybe it will hold
Fort Worth
February 25th, 2009 at 8:20 pm
service working in Clear Lake, TX. Rebooted my old original iphone and now have voice and data services
February 25th, 2009 at 8:25 pm
I had service all day here in south austin. My friend who lives here has no service. Weird that were in the same city and im not affected. We both have 3g iphones by the way.
February 25th, 2009 at 8:36 pm
FORT WORTH, TX is out… has been since 4:45 this afternoon.
February 25th, 2009 at 8:40 pm
My phone is up and running for the last 45 minutes (laredo, TX)..(still have the 3g turned off)..
February 25th, 2009 at 8:42 pm
North Houston
Looks like Data and Voice are both back, never mind it just went back to NO SERVICE. Anybody have any news from AT&T as to what the problem is?
February 25th, 2009 at 9:37 pm
Denton and Lewisville have been down for 7+ hours at this point. This is the Area 20-40 Miles North of Dallas-Ft. Worth. Down as in “No Service” shown on iPhone 3G upper left hand corner. Effed.
February 25th, 2009 at 9:39 pm
I’m back up w/voice and data in central Houston, and it’s held for almost an hour, and was out for over 8 hrs. No text msgs sent to me today got to me, and text msgs I sent never got where they were going either. I’ll be pleasantly surprised to hear any news from AT&T…just checked, still on strong
February 25th, 2009 at 10:06 pm
im back up in royse city just 12 miles east of dallas but it was going off and on all afternoon
February 25th, 2009 at 10:15 pm
OK….. I DID THE: Settings->General->Reset->Reset Network Settings AND IT WORKED…AFTER GOING TO TWO APPLE STORES IN BOTH THE GALLERIA AND HOUSTON AND TWO AT&T STORES ON 59 AND THE WOODLANDS. ALL HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM…. BUT: Settings->General->Reset->Reset….WORKED!
February 25th, 2009 at 10:54 pm
Yup the Settings->General->Reset->Reset Network Settings worked for me too. Thanks!
February 26th, 2009 at 1:30 am
Settings->General->Reset->Reset Network Setting did NOT work here. Been down since 10:00 AM in Arlington, TX (DFW area), no service – AT&T said by 11:00 pm we’d be up, but obviously missed that promise.
February 26th, 2009 at 2:00 am
I’m so sorry, newFADS, as I started this string early today and felt so good that we Texans were all going to bed w/our phones working again. Mine hasn’t gone down again, since 7:30 pm, so you’ll be next. Good night
February 26th, 2009 at 2:00 am
I live in Dallas and work in McKinney about 25 minutes away and have been using the iPhone3G for a little over six months and I have never been impressed with the 3G service in this part of DFW. Today I was without 3G or EDGE for a few hours and I had no idea what was going on, this is my second iPhone because the first one was defective and I figured this was too, I guess it is a widespread problem, Powercycling sometimes helps.
February 26th, 2009 at 2:01 am
what’s powercycling?
February 26th, 2009 at 8:09 am
I had issues yesterday, I had nothing….but suprisingly today I have full 3g in my office, where I could barely get a a bar in here….did they do some upgrading???…. I’m near downtown houston….
February 26th, 2009 at 12:11 pm
Have been having issues since Feb 25th noon. Still oscillating service. Tried several stuff. If it doesn’t work today am going to the At*T store and telling me to give m an iphone which doesn’t have a problem with this whatever network problem is going on or make my next month bill free. If they can charge for extra mins we can demand for the amount of time we were not able to use. This isn’t what we pay for.

I have made and received ten calls in the past two weeks…A T & T message “Call failed” all day…every day…except for 7:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. – and then only if the call connected. When I hang up and attempt a call, the message is “Call failed.” 1 bar. Word is that AT&T refuses to rent space on local towers. Perhaps it’s another FAILING BUSINESS ******** US OVER…

Powercycling is the combination of EPO, a bicycle, a challenging course, and some natural talent and ability…
No, seriously…I’m sure the poster was referring to powering the iPhone down by holding the power button down until the slider appears and then turning the iphone off and then back on.

Dallas Downtown – still out…. just got here for the weekend and it’s been out all day! Went to the Apple store and I was told ‘At&t said they would have the problem fixed in 24 hours – but that was Thurs” Yeah… ummm…. ok?

I’ve been having problems with my signal for 2 weeks now. I live in Lake Charles, LA. I’ve never lost signal in the middle of town like I have lately!!! It’s really irritating because I’m missing calls and texts. I’ll get like 5 voicemails and 30 texts all of a sudden from a 3 hour time range. If it doesn’t change soon I’m switching companies, no matter how much I love my iPhone.

Still down in Austin. Have tried cycling off/on, removing SIM card, resetting network, and resetting entire phone. None work. AT&T better be working on this.

Service out in Denton, Texas for about an hour now!!! Just says “searching….”

I’m in San Antoin TX and last night I started to see “no service” and “searching” and it’s worse today. I’ve tried resetting the network, cycling on/off and messing with the sim card but, no dice. So I’m off to the AT&T store after work to see what i can find out. They better be working to fix it.

I’m in the medical center area of San Antonio. I am getting “no service” on my iPhone. I power cycled serveral times and still no service. Its been like this since 10a.

Service in McKinney TX is down for past week. ATT claims two towers are down but the funny thing is all my friends ATT phones work but my wife and mine do not. Says either “no service” or “searching.” If ATT doesn’t get this **** figured out quick my status is going to be “searching” for “new service” from another provider. This is getting old guys. Never had any issues on the old digital system with my MOTO RAZR. iPhone is a giant piece of ****. If thinking of buying one, wait and get the new blackberry coming this summer. Hell, smoke signals work better than this major POS!!!

Same problem as John Smith. I’m around the medical center in San Antonio and since wednesday april 29th I keep getting call failed messages and can’t receive txt/emails frequently. This is garbage, are they planning on prorating reimbursement for loss of service?

Little to no signal in Del City, OK every phone mobile company in Del City is area is having outages today.

AT&T out here in Nashville… has been since midnight…no end in sight, apparently. Tried to get someone in technical dept…no way no how. No phone at all. GD IT!

El Paso, TX: Voice and data down all day today, tower damages leading to loss of coverage spanning approximately 25 miles – this is according to the AT&T Wireless rep. It may be due to the hail storm yesterday but hey by Verizon works just fine. Hmmm….

Ruston, La: Data plan may as well be non-existant. We don’t have 3G here yet, still running Edge, which was fine until about 3 months ago. My wife and I use the 2nd generation Iphone and I also have a AT&T Mercury USB Connect 3G Modem. Super slow upload and download speeds less than 5kb in most cases along with the constant drops on the data. Voice works fine but data in our area blows.

Sigh.
As for San Antonio, I’m in Monte Vista just north of down town, I’ve gone from full bars to none and then No Service and back again for the past few weeks. What the hell am I paying for here – I can’t even make a freaking phone call and when I can the audio sucks or the call gets dropped. [ve got a 1st generation iPhone and qualify for an upgrade but that means two more years of ATT… I’m just gonna wait and jump as soon I can switch to a reliable network. Like I have a choice…
This is just simply wrong for the amount of money I’m spending – I want my money back!
