- A nationwide cellular outage impacted AT&T and other cellphone customers across the country, preventing some people from making emergency calls.
The Dallas area was one of the hardest hit in the country, but outages were reported nationwide, including in Houston, Los Angeles, Chicago and Atlanta.
LiveNOW's Lexie Petrovic spoke about the impact of the outage with Michael Martin, the CEO of RapidSOS.

If you were in a panic, you live a sad life...
I'm disabled and very scared.if you have a problem with that f you
Honestly, I felt like this outage shows how much we depend on technology. And I think its too much.
Waking up in a panic with no phone ... our society is doomed.
It was too specific not to be a hack
From within
Try again with a better cover story.
They were saying that a software update might have caused the issue, what does Verizon and the other carriers have to do that update 🤔
How odd that it'd be some of our largest cities. Maybe it was those pesky aliens.
Well there was a meteor that flew over that area the night before this happened. Could have been their spaceship. It was a very bright light in the sky that apparently happened without any warning. But there was also a couple of X-flares that occurred just a few hours earlier that could have affected satellites, and less likely, terrestrial communication networks. I smell a cover story, though. It's really obviously a cover story the way they're going on about all of this.
This is because of the illegal immigrants. If they weren’t given free cell phones, the network will not have overload.
Staff at at&t said terrorist.... That's scary..
2:38 - first off he's speaking to an American network, secondly why does he have to emphasis "US" ?
Worse the 9-1-1 system that "was developed in the 1960s and the 1970s" is a flat out lie! Back in those days they created it originally as a three digit telephone number to emergency dispatches in many municipalities. When it comes to processes and technical enhancements that was surely later on. Parts of emergency calling is antiquated but not the number!!!
Whole thing stinks of a cover story for either the solar flares causing more issues than usual (which is possible if the magnetosphere also took a big dump when they occured) or a hack or that meteor that flew over Northeast and Midwest wasn't just a meteor.
My phone has been feeling hacked and constantly being monitored ever since and even before now. 911 Call Centers are typically really busy between the hours of 2AM through 4:30 AM! I'm surprised that 911 calls don't get routed to the Philippines since they have GPS.
Im still curious if we are being told what truly happened. AT&T has been saying very little throughout and after the outage, which confused me. Last i saw they are claiming an update to their network caused the outage - but personally i dont see them allowing an update to cause a national outage & them not being able to correct it quicker. Also if it was a cyber attack would the govt or at&t even tell us that? I think they wouldnt as to not cause panic everywhere. Ive really got no clue but thats just my thoughts
If you don't think they didn't tell us ahead of time then you haven't been paying attention. God help you.
@DJAriesDrakken lmfao you completely missed the point of what I was saying. I was speaking on the fact of how it's suspicious on how little at&t has publicly covered the outage. God help your reading comprehension skills.
The U.S. should scholarship computer programmers, and software + computer hardware engineers to prep an "army" of anti-hackers going forward!
Also, our Emergency Preparedness plans should add minimum distances between public access hard - line phones (under & above ground easily repaired wiring) that can be run "off line" if needed.
Some online ordering services using the Track phone services can not complete an order without cancelling in the middle of the process.
“Thousands “?? Um, and that made national news? I think millions?
No mention of the two x class solar flares?
At 4:50 am... Nope
Doesn't anyone here have any brains? If it really were a strong enough solar flare, it would have taken out all cell phone service - not just AT&T's - and not to mention other telecommunication infrastructure. And don't say that customers on other networks were also affected: Many smaller providers are MVNOs which use the AT&T Cellular Network, and the people who reported T-Mobile and Verizon were out likely had service all along and were just trying to contact other cell phones connected to AT&T.
Got some Cricket users too, I thought I had forgot to pay my bill or something. Called the cricket store & they told me service was down in some areas.@@chimebirdplayer3327
@@chimebirdplayer3327 it's the dunning-kruger effect at work my friend.
the most likely reason was probably partial failure or slowdown of a 3rd party service upstream to the carriers. It could an IMEI database service or a SIM database service that all carriers use failed intermittently or the connectivity between the carrier's core network and upstream 3rd party component slowed down due to a bad rollout of a software patch .. but yeah, it certainly was not the solar flares ... and it most likely was not cyber-security attack.
Better get used to it this is small compared to the next one. Kids will go crazy with out a cell phone older folks wont mind much because we have lived before without electronics.
AT&T posted a statement on their site regarding what caused the outage, they did a software update and there was a technical error.
Sure
Believe you can buy stocks in the Brooklyn bridge!
Sure, I believe that one,, no!
Geez! I was just getting the information out. I don't make these things up.
@@DylanLTindall we don’t don’t believe AT&T, and we don’t believe you either😅😂🤣
This can happen to electric cars too. Wont that be fun?
Internet service not restored why are they lying
He's talking about only 911 service. ALL communication was disrupted. Misinformation.
Only AT&T had an issue. That guy is full of it.
We have to have access to the satellites from our phones because this kind of thing should never happen again,,
Sos, no one can place Amazon orders!😮
My phone is at&t no outage for me
It got me, I live in NC and an area in Winston-Salem was out for Cricket which uses AT&T towers.
IF solar activity is all or part of the issue, satellite service is probably useless, just saying, A CME that charges the atmosphere with multiple frequency static will probably blank the satellite capabilities at both ends. For the most extreme example we have seen google the "Carrington event", we need to harden our power and communication systems to protect against as much damage as possible, but it is not cheap
There is nothing like the goid oldfashioned landline
Southeast Alaska was out be safe stay strong God bless our government 💕🎉
This would be the 4th excuse I've heard today. So it's an obvious lie. Why are they trying to cover up the truth so much?
My Uber driver had on bunny antenna ears.. no issues!
This is a dress rehearsal for a complete shut down.
Still no cause?
AT&T just put out an statement and the outage was caused by a technical error.
Nope. They will make up some nonsense.
@@mikezappulla4092I'm not the one that made this up. AT&T literally posted it on their news site. It's not always caused by attackers or cyberhacks, or politics. Mistakes can legitimately happen. Yes, it was a big one, but it was probably undetected until it was too late. Networks like AT&T require a lot of coding and updating to keep up with technology and Thousands of people work there. Nobody is perfect and can make mistakes sometimes.
@@mikezappulla4092True. Some of these people would believe AT&T if they put out a statement that a mouse chewed a cable causing the havoc🤷🏼🤔🙄
Dont panic, trust GOD. He will protect HIS.
Did you guys blame Biden yet?
Sooooo the models they're showing in this are OLD... I don't think those models are even supported anymore. 🤣
Definitely needs to be improved upon 911 is a critical emergency response shouldn’t be going down so easily. Going back to putting money where it doesn’t belong, Biden
CZcams been causing a glitch in my phone everytime I put a comment in about God or Jesus.
AT&T works with FBI - remember Nashville bombing ?
AT&T should apologize
With rebates
FBI -
😂
CYBER ATTACKS
Gearing up & testing for the Demoncrats new vote by phone app launch.
It was Russia ,RUSSIA RUSSIA 😂
or china
or iran
None, AT&T made a statement and they said the outage was caused by an technical error in a software update
😂😂😂😂 to all that. Try China
So glad I don’t own a phone. Y’all are seeing a tiny result of China activated equipment failure.
You don’t own a phone because you don’t need a phone. Particularly when you live in the ‘Congo’ at the base north east of ‘Mount Vesuvius.’ 🙄🤔🤷🏼
