AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile customers are among those experiencing outages.
As of 9:30 a.m. EST on Thursday morning, AT&T had over 71,000 reported outages, with around 3,500 for Verizon and 1,900 for T-Mobile.
Los Angeles, Houston, Chicago and Atlanta are among the cities where residents are reporting outages. Customers that are affected may have their phones stuck in SOS mode.
The outages appear to be unpredictable. A WBEN listener told us that both she and her daughter have an AT&T family plan. The listener had service, but her daughter did not.
