According to a statement from AT&T, the outage is affecting calls between carriers in the United States. All of the major carriers are working to restore service.

There is a nationwide issue that is affecting the ability of customers to complete calls between carriers. The carriers are working as quickly as possible to diagnose and resolve the issue.”

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.

It’s caused by the solar storms. Anybody keep up with the news? Enjoy the northern lights though while your electronics roast.

US infrastructure is so fragile. If someone sneezes too close to a cell tower, cell service may go down for over 12hours
