I live in a small town so not affected. How is Milwaukee?

AT&T is out in Milwaukee but Verizon is fine.  Nope, Verizon down, too

ATT in MKE, out

Edit: My wife has Verizon I believe, and she’s good. We have always kept one different credit card after she was robbed in…Chicago (shouldn’t have said that here), and now will always have separate cell services.

This is sneaky good advice.  My wife and I have always been separate (Verizon and TMobile respectively) unintentionally, but its been helpful.  Networks by and large have gotten better, but TMobile was spotty in places for awhile.  I love TMobile, have it primarily because of my international travel and usage, so it was never a dissuading factor, but it was nice to have backup if/when needed.

AT&T out in Columbia.  My wife gets their FirstNet which is supposed to keep her up when we're in areas that cause issues with cell service.  Not sure if hers is working or not.

It makes no sense.  I have AT&T --- I am OK*, my son was on SOS on our way in today.  Half my office (same business plan) is affected, half is not.


*OK in WFB means 1 bar bc our village president restricts information and hates multiple bars.

A national outage but as others have said, strangely my phone is working but my wife's is not.
Same deal at work where half the office is out and the other half is not.

My firm is on AT&T and we are down in all of our offices in Wisconsin (Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, Appleton, Racine, Kenosha, Wausau, Rhinelander).  AT&T tells our IT team that the solution is to enable WI-FI Calling.  But there's a catch:  the WI-FI service had to have been enabled at least once before in order to be activated.  And you need a cellular service to activate it the first time.  The absurdity made me chuckle.

Pretty sure this was a "test" outage. Let's see how the country responds when the big one hits, aina?
