People began reporting cell phone issues on Monday, June 15, 2020 across the United States. The outages impacted T-Mobile, Sprint, AT&T and Verizon customers.

The Downdetector website (click here) showed an increase in outages beginning around noon CST.  Major cities impacted were New York, Miami, Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta and Los Angeles.

Is there a connection between cell phone outages and protesting in the large cities?  We may never know for sure, but the  T-Mobile Chief Technology Officer Neville Ray said in a tweet. “Thanks for your patience.”

I guess we are fortunate in Stoddard County not to have experienced any major outage today.
