In what may feel like déjà vu for some, customers with AT&T and Verizon reported issues with their phone service Tuesday, especially when it comes to trying to call one another.
Problems began for AT&T and Verizon customers around noon and climbed throughout the afternoon before peaking around 5:00 p.m.
Later in the evening, AT&T posted a statement on X, formerly Twitter, saying that “the issue disrupting calls between carriers has been resolved.”
A notice from Verizon said that while its network is operating normally, “some customers, primarily in the Northeast and Midwest, are experiencing issues when calling or texting with customers served by another carrier. We are continuing to monitor the situation.”
In February, AT&T customers dealt with an hours-long outage that left them unable to make calls or use their cellular data. Days later, AT&T said it would automatically apply a credit of $5 to the accounts of impacted customers.
