If you've made fun of somebody for having a landline lately, you might be eating your words this morning.
AT&T mobile customers are without service this morning because of a massive nationwide outage, company officials said on Thursday. On social media, AT&T customers said they noticed their cell signals died overnight, with some saying they discovered the outage by waking up to see their phones on SOS mode.
The website downdetector.com, which tracks user-indicated mobile service outages across the United States, shows the Houston, Dallas, and Los Angeles areas are among the areas hardest hit by the outage. In all, the website has received 72,000 reports of the AT&T outage from across the United States.
"Some of our customers are experiencing wireless service interruptions this morning," AT&T said in a statement published by WWL-TV. "We are working urgently to restore service to them. We encourage the use of Wi-Fi calling until service is restored."
AT&T did not say what caused the outage or how long it's expected to last.
