AT&T Outage: Causes, Impact, and Lessons LearnedOn Thursday, February 23rd, AT&T, one of the largest telecommunications providers in the United States, experienced a widespread outage that left thousands of customers without cell phone service. The disruption affected major cities across the country, causing frustration and inconvenience for users. Let's delve into the details of this incident, its impact, and the steps taken to address it.What Happened?Outage Start: The cellular phone outage began before dawn on Thursday, around 4 am ET.Affected Areas: Reports of lost service spiked in major cities such as Houston, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, and Atlanta. Over 32,000 AT&T customers reported losing service initially, with the number surging to over 71,000 just before 8 am.Other Carriers: While the AT&T outage did not directly impact other carriers like Verizon and T-Mobile, customers of those networks reported issues reaching AT&T customers during the disruption. Cricket Wireless, which uses AT&T's network, also experienced similar problems.Root CauseAT&T promptly investigated the issue and determined that the outage was not caused by a cyberattack. Instead, it resulted from an internal process error during network upgrades. Specifically, an incorrect process was executed as part of the network expansion, leading to the disruption.ImpactEmergency Services: The outage affected emergency outlets, municipalities, and customers of other cellular companies who were trying to reach services and loved ones using AT&T.Verizon and T-Mobile: Customers of Verizon and T-Mobile reported difficulties reaching AT&T users during the disruption.Cricket Wireless: Cricket Wireless, a subsidiary of AT&T, also experienced outages, impacting over 13,000 customers.Restoration EffortsBy Thursday afternoon, AT&T had restored service for all impacted users. The company apologized for the disruption and assured customers that steps would be taken to prevent similar incidents in the future.Lessons LearnedThis outage serves as a reminder of the critical role telecommunications play in our daily lives. Here are some key takeaways:Redundancy and Resilience: Telecommunication providers must invest in redundancy and backup systems to minimize service disruptions during unexpected events.Communication: Clear communication with affected users and timely updates are crucial during outages.Collaboration: Coordination with other carriers and emergency services is essential to ensure continuity during disruptions.While AT&T has resolved this particular incident, it underscores the need for continuous vigilance and preparedness in an increasingly connected world.Remember, even the most robust networks can experience hiccups, but it's how providers respond that truly matters. Stay connected, stay informed, and let's hope for smoother days ahead.To Help Support this podcast use any of the links belowPay Pal DonationVenmo - @jason-Stclair-09262CashApp - $stclair316

Americans reporting nationwide cellular outages from AT&T, Cricket Wireless and other providers. AT&T customers report a massive outage, disrupting phone service across America. In the middle of the night last night, there were mass cellular outages reported for uses of AT&T, Verizon Cricket Wireless, Boost Mobile and other uses as well. Why would millions of people's phones give them an SOS message, which prevents someone from making any calls, even to 911. Is this an EMP dry run? Our infrastructure has been neglected and it's wide open for attacks. Our enemies know this.

The average person is paying $60-100 a month for a cell phone plan, but in reality, we think that's way too much!  Most people can get solid and reliable coverage for $25-40 a month. This is our advice for what to consider as you research and explore new cell phone plan options.  Do your research and decide what you need:Where do you live, and who has good coverage?  These days all carriers tend to have excellent coverage.  How much data do you need? For example, unlimited data usage versus are you OK with a cap on your data usage. What type of phone do you have or need?  How many lines do you need? Pre-paid plans vs. traditional cell phone bills Almost all carriers have cheaper plan options if you go with a “pre-paid” plan.  We explain what these plans are and why they cost less.Some of the best low-cost cell carriers out thereTheir offers are constantly changing, so when you're ready to look into things, you need to go and see who's offering what.  Even if we made a massive spreadsheet highlighting and comparing them all, someone's would change next month.  Consider offer stacking.  For example, you can sign-up through Rakuten for cashback or a sign-up bonus using a friend's referral link.  The best discount companies we have found include Visible, Cricket Wireless, Mint Mobile, GoogleFI, Tello, and pre-paid plan options with any of the big networks like Verizon and AT&T.Approaches for traveling internationallyPick up a local SIM card or rent a wifi hot spot while traveling. You can buy international time/packages through many previously mentioned carriers, but they can get quite pricey. So if you go this route, manage your data usage proactively while traveling!Top 3 takeaways:You're likely paying too much if you're paying more than $40 a month for your cell phone plan.Do a little bit of research or accept someone else's research and make a change to save money today.  Don't get sucked into clever marketing. Generally speaking, cell phone plans are a commodity product, and you'll get the same service from everyone.Show References:friends on FIRE episode #021 | Cell Phones and TV and Internet, Oh My!Visible referral link - first month is $5---Follow friends on FIRETwitterInstagramFacebookLinkedInLeave us a voicemail or text us: 404-981-3370eMail us at:  friendsonfiremm@gmail.comVisit our website: www.friendsonfire.org---Other LinksMaggie's Blog: Mostly Minimal LifeMike's Book: Your New Relationship with Money
