A 5G signal meter on an iPhone 12
It’s not just you — AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon are having issues across a wide swathe of the US this morning.
So far, it’s not clear why T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon are all having issues this morning. Symptoms vary, with no connectivity at all for the most impacted.
In some cases with an iPhone 14 or iPhone 15, users are seeing the SOS notification in the upper-right hand corner of the screen where the signal strength meter normally is. That’s an indicator of no cell service, but access to the SOS over Satellite feature.
There hasn’t been a wide statement issued yet by any carrier. Additionally, while wireless-provided internet like 5G for the home is hit, wired internet services provided by the companies don’t seem to be impacted.
The problems extend to mobile virtual network operators that piggyback off the larger carriers — or NVMOs. Boost, Consumer Cellular, Straight Talk, US Cellular, FirstNet, and Boost Infinite are all reporting problems as well.
