AT&T outage in Seattle (Update 2)
[Update, 10:55 a.m. Here's the statement from an AT&T spokeswoman: “A 3G voice issue this morning in the Seattle/Tacoma may have impacted service for some customers. AT&T technicians quickly worked to resolve the issue, and all service should be up and running. We apologize for any inconvenience to our customers.”]
[Update, 9 a.m.: We're now able to make calls, although not consistently. Many readers are reporting in the comments below that their service has been restored, and Seth Bloom of AT&T blogger relations says it's back. Original post follows.]
TechFlash has been getting widespread reports from readers about problems with the AT&T wireless network in the Seattle region this morning, primarily evident when trying to place calls. Service has been coming back for some people over the past 30 minutes, but the glitches appear to be persisting for others in some locations around the region.
Rebooting the phone seems to have worked for some people. We've contacted an AT&T representative (by email, since our iPhone isn't working from Seattle's Ballard neighborhood) to find out what's happening. Stay tuned for updates. In the meantime, feel free to post your status (including location and type of phone) below.
Post updated at 9:30 a.m. to clarify that the problem is with AT&T's wireless network. (Thanks, Chuck).
