  <p>wondering if you&#8217;ve heard any reports of an iPhone service outage in SF Bay Area? My iPhone and 7-8 other friends no service.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Some comments have popped up on older posts making us wonder as well. Anyone in San Francisco or California in general experiencing any AT&amp;T outages? If so, please sound of in the comments and let us know where and when, and whether it&#8217;s back or not in your area.</p>

<p>And, hey, if this is isolated or already over, outage-fans fear not, there&#8217;s still CTIA in Las Vegas coming up, and we know what massive amounts of iPhones at big trade shows <a href="http://www.theiphoneblog.com/2009/03/16/iphone-smash-puny-att-network-sxsw-austin-tx/">do to AT&amp;T&#8217;s network</a>&#8230;</p>

<p>So once again AT&amp;T seems to be having issues.  TiPb reported on the <a href="http://www.theiphoneblog.com/2008/12/28/att-service-outage-area/">two previous</a> <a href="http://www.theiphoneblog.com/2009/01/06/att-outage-2/">outages</a>, which seemed to affect a much larger area then the current outage.</p>

<p>I read one report of someone in Philadelphia on the forums today, did not think much of it until I read a post on <a href="http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009/01/16/more-major-att-network-woes-when-will-it-stop/#more-14625">BGR</a> just now.  According to a BGR tipster this outage is affecting Philadelphia and the surrounding areas.  It is creating the inability to hear the party on the other end of the line during outbound and inbound calls.  Data at this point does not seem to be affected.</p>

<p>AT&amp;T is said to be well aware of the situation and is working on getting it back up to be fully operational.  So just how many of our readers are currently having issues?  Anyone?</p>

<p>Say it is not so AT&amp;T.  Another outage seemed to take place this morning, mostly effecting the East coast this time.  It was a little over a week ago where myself and Dieter, in the Midwest, noticed something was a little off &#8211; to say the least &#8211; with our service.  Both data and voice were effected then.  In the end, that was <a href="http://www.theiphoneblog.com/2008/12/28/att-service-outage-area/">blamed on a power failure</a>.</p>

<p>Today, here in the Midwest, all is well.  But it seems like a lot of East coast customers have some major issues with their data.  So all you East coast readers, are you back surfing the web on your beloved iPhone?  Or are you still sitting there lost with no data service?</p>

<p>Maybe this has something to do with the recent reports of <a href="http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009/01/04/att-downgrades-2g-service-effectively-telling-you-to-upgrade/">AT&amp;T beefing up their 3G network</a>? Never the less, hopefully everything is now back to normal!</p>

<p>Let us know!</p>

<p>UPDATE: Looks like neither Skynet&#8217;s first strike nor a Cylon invasion were to blame, but a power failure in Michigan. <a href="http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2008/12/att-wireless-outage-in-chicagoland.html">AT&amp;T has put out a press release</a> (via Chicago Breaking News &#8212; Thanks Jeremy!). Here&#8217;s hoping everyone gets their ubiquitous connectivity back ASAP.</p>

<p>Both <a href="http://twitter.com/BadAsh77/status/1082611275">Jeremy</a> (Chicago) and <a href="http://twitter.com/backlon/status/1082614877">Dieter</a> (MN) seem to be having no-joy with their AT&amp;T service today. (I&#8217;m on Rogers, so aside from poverty, <a href="http://twitter.com/reneritchie/status/1082729782">I&#8217;m fine thanks</a>!) </p>

<p>How&#8217;s it holding up in your area? Loud and clear, or data fail?</p>

Apple anonymized &#8220;blogger&#8221; David G. is back with the 3rd in Steve Jobs&#8217; promised regular MobileMe status updates, and this time it&#8217;s all good news&#8230; at least from their perspective.

<p>Apple anonymized &#8220;blogger&#8221; David G. is back with the 3rd in Steve Jobs&#8217; promised regular MobileMe status updates, and this time it&#8217;s all good news&#8230; at least from their perspective.</p>

<p>First up, the <a href="http://www.theiphoneblog.com/2008/07/28/mobileme-update-david-g-says-40-of-1-are-90-restored/">1%ers, 60-100% of whom have been missing 100% of their email</a> for over two weeks now:</p>

<blockquote>We have completed restoring Mail service, including historical messages, to all of the 1% of affected members. Thank you all for your extreme patience during this trying time. If you have been affected by this issue and are still having problems we have established a <a href="http://www.apple.com/support/mobileme/mailchat">dedicated chat line</a> to reach a MobileMe Mail specialist for help.</blockquote>

<p>Next, that nasty <a href="http://www.theiphoneblog.com/2008/07/29/mobileme-losing-contacts-lost-reviewers/">sync bug that saw data wiped out</a> for some users over the weekend:</p>

<blockquote>For some users this caused their contact and calendar data to disappear from their devices, but not from their computers or the MobileMe cloud. When we fixed the bug in the late afternoon, the problem resolved itself for most users: their data simply reappeared on their iPhone or iPod Touch. If you are one of those affected users and your data has not automatically reappeared, follow the steps <a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2630">at this link</a> to restore your data.</blockquote>

<p>David G. hopes that with this, Apple&#8217;s MobileMe woes will largely become a thing of the past, and they can concentrate their resources on improving the service overall (and restoring the faith of their user-base, right Apple?). </p>

<p>Another update is promised for later in the week.</p>

<p>So, how about it? Anyone still suffering MobileMe mail meltdown? Stuck in sucktastic sync-loops? Has Apple been able to help? Please let us know.</p>

Thus far making good on their promise of consistent updates, Apple has once again posted as to the status of their beleaguered MobileMe service. David G. &#8212; who may be the poster formerly known as &#8220;me&#8221; ? &#8212; chimed back in last night:

<p>Thus far making good on their promise of consistent updates, Apple has once again posted as to the status of their beleaguered MobileMe service. David G. &#8212; who may be the poster formerly known as &#8220;me&#8221; ? &#8212; chimed back in last night:</p>

<blockquote>As you know, restoring full email access to the remaining 1% of MobileMe users is our first priority. We turned on web access to their current email yesterday and the feedback has been cautiously positive. Since then, we&#8217;ve restored full email history (minus the approximately 10% of mail received between July 18 and July 22 which may have been lost) and the ability to access email from a Mac, PC and iPhone, to over 40% of these users, and expect the remainder to be restored in the next few days.</blockquote>

<p>G. goes on to clarify how some email is now time-stamped by server transfer rather than send time, and explains how to view long headers to extract actual send time info, and promises another update soon.</p>

<p>Kudos to Apple for stepping up the transparency. Given their corporate culture is so immersed in secrecy, its likely a painful, but hopefully transformative lesson for them to learn. Sympathies, however, for the some 60% of the 1%ers still waiting for their 90%&#8230;</p>
