Interrupción a gran escala de AT&T en los EE. UU., que incluso afecta las llamadas al 911

A large-scale AT&T outage across the US has been acknowledged by the carrier, which says it is investigating.

Issues have also been reported by T-Mobile and Verizon customers, but based on the limited information available so far, it appears they are only experiencing problems when attempting to call AT&T users …

Reuters reports that the issue began in the early hours of this morning.

More than 32,000 outage incidents were reported with AT&T’s service around 4:30 a.m. ET, according to data from outage tracking website Downdetector.com. Impacted cities included San Francisco, Houston and Chicago, the website showed.

Multiple 911 centers have reported that users have been unable to use the emergency number.

We are aware of an issue impacting AT&T wireless customers from making and receiving any phone calls (including to 911).

We are actively engaged and monitoring this.

The San Francisco 911 center is still operational.
