No 3G in San Francisco, Calls dropping. Ironically more iPhone users are having the issue. I only Edge/ No service all day long.
August 4th, 2009 at 4:23 pm
I’m in SF. I called and asked if there was an issue. I was told yes. I was also credited $30 to my account. I said that was great but not necessary, I only called to see if there was a problem, and she said she was sorry I was not happy and to not worry about the full, one month data credit. They may not be perfect but I’ve never had bad service since I went iPhone!
August 4th, 2009 at 4:23 pm
No 3G service in Palo Alto/Stanford all day so far. Edge only and sometimes “no service.”
August 4th, 2009 at 4:24 pm
PS: I also suggested that in the future they send a text to all 3G customers so they are aware of a known issue. I’m not holding my breath but she thought that was a good idea.
August 4th, 2009 at 4:25 pm
3:44pm, in what timezone? It’s 14:24PDT here in the SF bay area and data has been working fine all day.
August 4th, 2009 at 4:25 pm

Livin’ on the Edge here in South San Francisco, and have been since this morning
August 4th, 2009 at 4:40 pm
In Sunnyvale, CA and the service is up with full 3G. I think the outage is just north of me. I am heading north to SF after work and will check the signal on the way home. Good thing I ride with another person so I won’t have to drive and play with my iPhone at the same time. LOL. I want the $30 service credit and AT&T to get the issue resolved ASAP. Nothing like a working iPhone.
August 4th, 2009 at 4:44 pm

SF – phone stop working this morning at around 10:00 AM PDT. No outgoing or incoming calls.

I have only been able to use edge since.
August 4th, 2009 at 4:53 pm
I’m in Beverly hills California EDGE & 3G working good
August 4th, 2009 at 4:55 pm
Bakersfield is running strong.
August 4th, 2009 at 4:58 pm
Didn’t notice on my iPhone (San Diego area). But then I’ve been busy at work.
Still, “In California” is kind of like saying “I ate schitzel in Germany.” CA is a big place.
August 4th, 2009 at 5:01 pm

August 4th, 2009 at 5:27 pm
I’m in Mountain View, CA and first noticed it this morning around 9:30am PDT when both voice and data were not working. I called it in around 9:45am and there was no word on their end that they were having issues. About 30-45mins later voice was working but both my iphone and an end users blackberry were bouncing back and forth between Edge and 3G. Now at 3:25pm we’re still on the Edge for data. Phone calls seem to be working both incoming and outgoing. Visual voicemail is hit or miss at this point.
August 4th, 2009 at 5:31 pm
Chico (way norcal), still on 3G with 4 bars.
August 4th, 2009 at 5:37 pm

3G back in Los Altos.
August 4th, 2009 at 6:19 pm

August 4th, 2009 at 6:20 pm
I live outside of Houston, Texas. I was looking at my account on my iPhone and noticed there was a message that they were having issues in my area. About 2 minutes after that I lost all coverage for about 5 minutes.
August 4th, 2009 at 6:27 pm
Just called AT&T @ 4:30pm(PDT) and they said that there is an outage in S.F. & Reno and that they are updating the following ticket every 45 mins: TT00011288524
August 4th, 2009 at 6:34 pm
For those responding with “3G in on”: can you get data?
I’ve been in quite a few situations lately where my phone has 5 bars of 3G but cannot get data (checking multiple websites).
August 4th, 2009 at 6:42 pm
3G back in Millbrae, CA area. I called ATT and requested a credit, and received $25 credit (be sincere). Internet is either normal or super laggy.
August 4th, 2009 at 6:43 pm
EDGE only in Santa Rosa after about 10am Today (Tues 8/4)
August 4th, 2009 at 7:07 pm

Fine here!
August 4th, 2009 at 7:34 pm
Just off the phone with ATT customer rep and she acknowledged degraded service in NorCal and offered me $53 credit. She said the service will be back by noon tomorrow. For $50 I can live with it
August 4th, 2009 at 7:39 pm
LB Good Going…..:)
August 4th, 2009 at 7:49 pm
nope i asked for credit they said no
August 4th, 2009 at 7:56 pm
I was in Cupertino today. Apple’s own turf and I had absolutely no service sitting right in their parking lot.
Everything is good now though.
August 4th, 2009 at 8:12 pm
I was on EDGE in the East Bay Area, came up to Sacramento and I’m on 3G now. I hate ATT.
August 4th, 2009 at 8:14 pm
Stockton,Ca out for a while. But all is well somewhat, keep going to edge.
August 4th, 2009 at 8:25 pm
@Gregg but I’m sure Verizon has that amount if not more data users.yes it is 14 million iphones but the iphone isn’t the only device using data. There’s more people not using an iphone than there are people using one. What I’m saying is, can you REALLY blame the iphone for the data outage or is it safe to say regardless if AT&T has 3G or not, they still suck AND what good is 3G if you can’t access it?? Do I have a point or am I just ignorant? Lol
August 4th, 2009 at 8:26 pm
Good in Corona, CA
August 4th, 2009 at 8:43 pm
San Francisco 94121 … on EDGE (with a wireless card and a nokia n95-3) since about 1000 PDT. 3G seemed to come back at about 1800 PDT.
August 4th, 2009 at 8:54 pm
I’m in Antioch, CA..near San Francisco and all is working well for me.
August 4th, 2009 at 9:30 pm
Cannot Open Page… Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding. Gotta love at&t! (San Francisco, CA) No 3G or Edge!
August 4th, 2009 at 9:54 pm
Ask for a supervisor .
August 4th, 2009 at 9:58 pm
@ Soco_jon, I was just saying that the iPhones use 3-4 times the Data and Bandwidth as any other smart phone so its more like 50 million users on the network, then add the other 55 million regular phone users and the network is really taxed. I mean they added 5.9 million iPhones last quarter alone. I think they are holding it together decent. Then considering they are in cell phone unchartered territory. No one expected it to be as hard to handle as its become. I mean Im sending 10MB videos directly off my phone, who else does that? Blackberry limited to 600kb.
August 4th, 2009 at 10:21 pm
@ Gregg ok you got me! Lol you got me. I’ll close the debate.but it must suck to have as many outages as AT&T does and have your service limited and I feel sorry for the people who aren’t getting credited. I hope AT&T gets their stuff together so I can get another iphone. Lol I’m just being a hater hahaha
August 4th, 2009 at 10:27 pm
Santa Rosa, CA, 3G won’t let me even visit google search with 5 bars. EDGE works just fine for me and is ironically faster than 3G.
August 4th, 2009 at 10:31 pm
I’ve been stuck on Edge all day in SF, Larkspur and Novato.
August 4th, 2009 at 10:49 pm
The peninsula had no 3G and then No Service for the longest time
August 4th, 2009 at 11:27 pm
@soco_jon.. I know you are
They will come together. They have alot to shoulder. take care..
August 5th, 2009 at 12:09 am
It’s 10 pm in Santa Rosa, no 3G all day. Just spoke with ATT, they said they were working on the problem fast as possible! They offered me a lousy $5.00 credit. what cheapskates.
August 5th, 2009 at 12:32 am
Data plan is 30 days for 30 dollars. They are paying you 5 days worth for a one day outage.
They probably thought they were being magnanimous.
August 5th, 2009 at 12:59 am
None in moreno Valley or on my blackberry for tmobile
August 5th, 2009 at 1:00 am
Network constantly dropping in Redlands, CA

August 5th, 2009 at 1:41 am

August 5th, 2009 at 1:45 am
I do not have an iphone and I do not have service in So Cal
August 5th, 2009 at 1:52 am

August 5th, 2009 at 1:54 am
I’m in Orem, UT and currently I’m only able to connect to EDGE. When I picked up my phone after setting it down several hours ago, it didn’t have any data connection till I turned the phone off and back on. I figure that AT&T maybe doing some sortot maintenance work.
August 5th, 2009 at 2:23 am

August 5th, 2009 at 9:43 pm
Currently – Los Angeles area – on 3G….but NO blackberry and No NAV/GPS service. Experienced the problem since around 3pm.
August 5th, 2009 at 9:45 pm
to add to my earlier post: called ATT wireless 800 to inquire about the outage. Their reply….”Oh, I haven’t checked if there’s an outage report recently….” HELLOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! They don’t know????
August 5th, 2009 at 9:49 pm
So, ATT reps can’t explain why the outage. This is messed up. Anyone out there know why and any ETA on return to normal service? Thanks.
August 5th, 2009 at 10:03 pm
Both of our iphones are dropping calls.. One ring then “Call Failed”.. Been going on for the past 4 hours..
Sherman Oaks
August 5th, 2009 at 11:12 pm
been dropping calls on my iphone in Sherman Oaks all day.
August 5th, 2009 at 11:30 pm
La jolla (San Diego) – completely lost service for a few minutes aroung 9:25 then came back to 3 bars. Whoops, just went out again.
August 6th, 2009 at 12:58 am
Holy ****, I thought I was the only one dealing with this. I’ve had crappy service here in SF. Especially around the VAN NESS and POST area / City Hall. What frusterated me is at my GYM on POST and VAN NESS always had 3G service since 3G came out. Starting since late JUNE my Gym has EDGE only and SUPPPPPPPPEEERRRRR DAMN slow. I have the IPHONE 3GS and was getting pissed that this was happening. I called two different times to 611 and they checked and said everything is fine in that area. I told them to put a damn service ticket and check the damn towers, LOL. I said there is a Verizon store right across the street and might be tampering with them, LOL. Anyhow……hopefully it gets resolved ASAP!
August 6th, 2009 at 3:30 am
sherman oaks… call failed millions of times. internet went out, then text followed. Now have to send and resend text to finally get them to go through. Emails and texts coming through but difficult to send. called ATT, they said there was a problem on the 3rd and has no idea of an outage today. I had perfect service on the 3rd until today at 3PM or so. I HAVE A BLACKBERRY, not Iphone. Explanations please. This situation is pissing me off!!!!
August 6th, 2009 at 3:31 am
They provide no ETA on when the situation will be fixed because they said there isn’t a problem and said it might be the phone. if it was the phone then my roommates blackberry wouldnt be screwed the same way. But his iphone works??? This is weird
August 6th, 2009 at 8:46 am
No 3G at all. Annapolis, MD. 9:30am.
August 6th, 2009 at 10:34 am
ATT is lucking they have the exclusive deal with the IPhone service…they suck major ****!!
August 6th, 2009 at 7:59 pm
No 3G today or yesterday in SF (Lower Haight)
August 6th, 2009 at 8:35 pm
Just found out a tower in SF is “severely degraded” and scheduled to be fixed tomorrow, Friday.
August 7th, 2009 at 1:55 am
Just bought an Iphone today in Los Angeles- couldn’t get online or check voicemail. ATT rep on phone says Los Angeles has been down since yesterday and will be down until Friday morning.
August 7th, 2009 at 3:58 am
From Tucson, AZ: I know it’s not CA, but iP not getting data connection for voice or Internet, noticed first around 2300 this evening (Thu,8/6).
August 7th, 2009 at 1:25 pm
2 days straight with only Edge service in Sherman Oaks and Burbank. My coworkers with iPhones are also only getting Edge service.
August 7th, 2009 at 2:16 pm
Yeah in Sonoma County Ca, Santa Rosa in particular 3g was out for almost a whole day on Tuesday, and right now it’s really really spotty going in and and out. I’m watching my bars fluctuate from 2 to 4 as we speak. going in and out of edge And 2 of my co-workers are having the same problem with thier phones. Is it the 3gs only that’s having the problem? or are 3g owners having the same problem?
August 7th, 2009 at 4:40 pm
Houston, Texas
For the past two maybe three days. I am getting a few things, it is either flat out droping calls every few minutes or “searching..” or “no service” and most of the time it says 3G and shows “full bar” service. However it will not allow text messages to be sent. Phone calls are down as well, phone will not allow me to make a call or recieve any calls. Then when it does recieve service for however short a period of time I get flooded with text messages and voicemails. I go to an AT&T store and was told service must me down we don’t know but you can call the 1-800 number or customer service… I look at my phone and ask how if there is no service…
I have no house phone and yes I could use another land line, however this is not what I pay for.
I do like the idea that was mentioned earlier about letting iphone/3g users know what it going on and being kept in the loop via a message rather than having to make time to visit an AT&T store.
August 7th, 2009 at 5:49 pm
San Diego CA…My gf has been having problems with her service, mostly text messaging she reboots her phone and it works but then it happens again. She called not so sure what she was told. I’ll tell her to call and complain so she can get some credit. It’s frustrated getting blamed and it’s not my fault. I called and they said some towers were out in the area and it might take three business days to fix the problem. Hopefully they fix it for good!
August 7th, 2009 at 7:27 pm
Same problem here: No 3G for the last few days in San Mateo, CA. I just called AT&T, and they gave a $30 credit and indicated the problem should be fixed by end of day today.
I hope they’re right. I miss 3G and EDGE is maddeningly slow.
August 8th, 2009 at 9:29 pm
Outages here in Las Vegas as well since yesterday (Friday), I always have 3g and now must switch 3g off in order to connect to data even though 3g displays full signal strength. Worked for awhile this morning but gone again.
August 8th, 2009 at 10:19 pm
I have an iphone 3g…(3.0) edge stop working today no internet.. only wiifii..
August 9th, 2009 at 11:33 pm
2 Iphone 3GSs in Redwood City next to each other. One working on 3G, the other only getting Edge. Called Support and they said acll back tomorrow. ATT Billing server also down
August 10th, 2009 at 6:17 pm
You guys are all in California, but I live out in Las Vegas, NV, and my 3G no longer works to access the Internet. If I turn it off and switch to the Edge connection that applies, or if I am near an open WI/FI signal it will allow me to get on too, but there’s something definitely screwy with me Internet.
August 11th, 2009 at 10:05 pm
August 11, 2009 –I have no voice connection on my iPhone — location is Auburn Hill, MI North of Detroit Went out about 2 hours ago — phone is receiving emails and will get online but will not send out phone calls
August 12th, 2009 at 4:48 pm
I am in vegas and my phone is not connecting to the internet either it has been 2 days now working off and on mostly off
August 12th, 2009 at 5:05 pm
I am also in Las Vegas, NV, and I have an iPhone 3G. I can send email or make phone calls but no 3G access at all. EDGE is working though. I noticed it last Saturday and its been worse each day. Rebooting or resetting network connections do not make a difference. I just visited the Apple store and they said the outages in CA are affecting some people in LV too. My husband claims he has no problems with 3G, but I can’t get it at all! Go figure. Extremely annoying. I can’t find any info from AT&T admitting there is a problem.
August 12th, 2009 at 6:30 pm
Downtown San Mateo zero 3g nor edge all afternoon. Posting this from starbucks wifi.
August 12th, 2009 at 7:03 pm
I am also in Las Vegas and have not been able to connect to the internet since yesterday. I did amazingly receive my emails around 10 am this morning but since then I have not been able to retrieve anything, connect to safari, or connect to any apps that require the internet. ANNOYING.
August 12th, 2009 at 10:42 pm
In Vegas. no/spotty data since Monday. Screw you AT&T! T-mobile and Android for me tomorrow.
August 13th, 2009 at 12:48 am
Henderson, Nevada. I have not been getting any connection or get easily disconnected since yesterday August 11th afternoon. Today just nothing at all.
August 13th, 2009 at 12:49 am
EDGE works perfectly fine by the way but I’d rather use what I paid for.
August 13th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
North County San Diego (92067) – no service since yesterday morning. Called AT&T twice yesterday (once in the morning, once in the evening) and was told that it was a “Level 3″ and that they were working on it. I was not awarded a monetary credit, but 500 rollover minutes. I would rather just have my phone work.
August 14th, 2009 at 2:16 pm

August 30th, 2009 at 4:12 pm
I don’t know if the wildfires down in L.A. have anything to do with it, but my 3GS has been out of service for a day an a half now….it keeps on alternating from “searching”, to “no service, and would sometimes tease me with just one bar, which eventually goes back to one of the latter. Freaking bullshit.

September 2nd, 2009 at 2:09 pm
I have been losing service on Edge all week so far (8/31, 9/1). Today so far so good—but I started the day by visiting the Mac store and getting a wipe/clean install. They recommended getting a new SIM card from AT & T store if that doesn’t work. BTW, no fires currently in Bay Area!!!!
September 2nd, 2009 at 2:13 pm
Both Veronica and I are located in Palo Alto. Been losing signal the last few days. I have an AT&T tilt for work and I cannot even get a tone to dial out and when I call in, it goes straight to voicemail! What is going on with AT&T???!!??
