The post also said that the issue was potentially caused by an error in coding in their application and did not elaborate much on that. AT&T also assured its users that they would take stringent measures to ensure any such incident was not repeated. Many theories suggested a cyberattack, but AT&T has refuted these claims.
AT&T outage: Are other network companies also affected?
The Federal Communications Commission stated Thursday that it is also investigating the cause of the AT&T outage. The White House said that many government agencies had contacted them regarding AT&T's network failures, but they did not have any substantial information regarding the cause.
Other wireless network companies like Verizon and T-Mobile experienced occasional network failures during this period, but it was not that widespread. Both companies confirmed that their networks were untouched by AT&T's service interruption, and consumers reporting difficulties may be contacting AT&T customers.
AT&T outage: Which regions are affected by this outage?
According to DownDetector, AT&T had more than 58,000 outages at various locations in the US, including Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, and Chicago. The carrier is the country’s largest, with more than 200 million subscribers, and for hours, many AT&T subscribers could not use any wireless service from the company.
As mentioned previously, users of other carriers were unable to connect to AT&T subscribers. Many subscribers saw SOS messages being displayed on their iPhones, although satellite connectivity was available to use.
