Updated, October 2, 2024 (05:15 PM ET): We’ve heard back from T-Mobile, and the carrier confirms a limited impact to its wireless services. The carrier points to “a third-party transport vendor” dealing with issues affecting subscribers in the Washington, D.C., area, which tracks with the reports we’ve seen coming out of Virginia and Maryland. T-Mobile apologizes to its subscribers for the inconvenience, and notes that it’s working to restore full service ASAP.
Original article, October 2, 2024 (03:58 PM ET): Cellular carriers are not having the best week. We’re just a couple days removed from a major Verizon outage that affected users all across the US, and now we’re seeing reports of a similar situation affecting subscribers on T-Mobile and its affiliated networks.
At least some of these reports do note T-Mobile service coming back online within the past 10 minutes, so there’s a chance the situation could already be resolving itself. We’ve already reached out to T-Mobile, and we’ll keep this post updated with any new information we learn.
