"Rising Cellphone Outages: AT&T, Cricket, and More Hit by Widespread Disruptions"

Americans are experiencing widespread cellular outages from major service providers including AT&T, Cricket Wireless, Verizon, T-Mobile, and others. AT&T, the most affected, had over 58,000 outages and is working to restore service, with the outages possibly caused by a cloud misconfiguration or human error. Other providers like Verizon and T-Mobile reported fewer outages, and some iPhone users have seen SOS messages indicating trouble connecting to their cellular provider's network. Workarounds such as using Wi-Fi calling are suggested for those still impacted.
