Hundreds of reports is a lot different than a "nationwide outage", no?

My phone is also working, Verizon, Westchester County, NY.

Portland, OR -- T-Mobile is workin' just fine.

Edit: Well, I mean, as fine as T-Mobile ever works anyway.

So just barely better than a poke in the eye with a stick.
Submitted something similar and got flagged. I would think "cell service not working" would be of interest to the hacker community from both network and functional perspectives.

Fwiw, my Cricket phone started experiencing issues around 4pm. Went from working normally to 'network not available' while sitting in the same spot.

Haven't dug out tools to see what it's doing, but seems to join the network after a reboot and then drop off after a short period (failure to transfer data?).
