Transcript

T-Mobile appears to be experiencing a major nationwide outage. DownDetector reports surging past 60,000 reports here in the last hour with customers across multiple states saying calls, text, and mobile data has stopped. Some phones are reportedly showing SOS mode, while others in the same household still have service. Reports are coming in from California, Maryland, Virginia, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and several other states. T-Mobile has not yet confirmed the cause or provided any restoration timeline. So, again, that's kind of the very latest. Hopefully this is just the short-lived outage and nothing that turns into significant, but we'll continue to watch the story, provide you the latest as we get it.
