Customers affected have been reporting dropped calls and an inability to hear the person they're attempting to communicate with.

Update: AT&T says that the interoperability issue has been fixed, and that it worked with other carriers to solve the problem.

Update 2: T-Mobile has clarified that its network was not down. From a T-Mobile spokesperson: "We are not experiencing an outage. We are seeing Down Detector increases with other providers, so this likely could be challenges our customers are having connecting with users on other networks."

Having both a Verizon and AT&T cell phone, I think outage is their normal state. Or just so crappy, it should classify as an outage.

The powerful solar storms were back in May. We're in June now.
