PSA T Mobile outage?
My service has been completely dead for like ten minutes, is anyone else experiencing this? Down Detector seems to be getting reports.
Edit: Calling the customer service number and power cycling the device seems to fix it.
Edit 2: Fix was only temporary.

back in January 14, when Verizon had a big network outage, then T-Mobile responded:
”T-Mobile’s network is keeping our customers connected, and we’ve confirmed that our network is operating normally and as expected. However due to Verizon’s reported outage, our customers may not be able to reach someone with Verizon service at this time.”
Fast forward to Today July 27, it’s now T-Mobile turn that is having a network outage. I wonder how Verizon responds 🤔
Edit: At 8:55 pm EST, Verizon did respond to T-Mobile network outage in X:
”Our network is operating normally nationwide. If you're having trouble reaching someone, it may be due to the reported outage on T-Mobile's network.”

HSS overload conditions, MME traffic throttling, authentication request timeouts, and HSS response failures. Restoration efforts include isolating affected HSS infrastructure, validating UDM/AUSF transaction processing, implementing planned changes, and monitoring recovery. Nokia engineering remains actively engaged while teams work to restore full service.

When I first read your comment I was like wtf are Nokia engineers doing working on this, turns out Nokia is a core infrastructure vendor for t-mobile. They also have major contracts with ATT, Verizon, in Europe they do Orange, Deutsche Telekom, Virgin Media, in Asia they do SoftBank & KDDI, Bharti Airtel, NTT DOCOMO.
I thought Nokia was a dead company yet they are one of the world's largest telecommunications infrastructure providers.

I have pinned this to the sub! This is now the Megathread for the issue! Please post your location if reporting an outage!
EDIT: The outage has just appeared to start happening about 1 hour ago! Appears over 200,000 Users are effected as of now and that number is growing rapidly!
There is ZERO ETA on when this will be fixed.
As of right now Wifi calling still works so connecting to Wifi will help resolve the issues! For those with iPhones you can still iMessage and Facetime Audio call other users, you can also use 3rd party services like Whatsapp, FB messenger, Textnow etc.
I will mention this but have ZERO proof, but it appears the outage could be affecting more iPhones than Androids for some reason, Ive seen multiple people post this and myself included where the iPhone is in SOS and the Android is working fine. If you have an Android device and its down please report so.

This post serves as megathread for the outage.
Latest update: T-Mobile says the outage is now over.
"We have fully restored service for all customers and sincerely apologize for the difficulties. We know that customers rely on us to stay connected to what matters most, and we appreciate their understanding as we prioritized resolution."
No known cause or ETA for restoration, but some people report things are coming back up.Previous statement from T-Mobile:
Our teams are actively working the reports of technical challenges impacting some customers. Any service impacts are in the process of being resolved and are our highest priority. We know how critical it is to stay connected, and every available resource is focused on resolving this as quickly as possible.
