It’s so strange how my wife has SOS and I have 3 bars sitting next to each other…

Are you both on the same OS?

A co worker and I are having the same problem. I have full bars and he has zero. We both have Androids.

I should note that I tried using my wife’s phone to call Verizon for help but the call could not be completed. Got some error code.

Same exact phones

Sometimes updates occur different times. ATT had a similar huge outage a few months back. February to be exact. First thing they said was it was not a cyber attack which to me means it was a cyberattack.

Just pretend the world is coming to an end. Makes the outage feel more impactful and exciting. Lol

Verizon's cell service has sucked recently. I used to have 5 bars at my home and office both. Since they switched to 5G I only have 2 bars at my office and 3 at home.

Musk needs to come out with an encrypted Starlink phone.

You ain't kidding!! The service is so bad now, I'm seriously considering moving over to ATT.

We considered switching too, but I’m not sure they are any better.

I think it’s because they’re leasing towers and bandwidth to other carriers. Ours had been getting consistently worse over time as well.

We switched in the middle of last year - Verizon over to ATT. Verizon was incrementally raising our rates without notice (even after being with them since smartphones were a thing) and to the point where ATT was nearly $20 cheaper a line for the same unlimited data.

Not so much concerned about the cost, just want consistent quality of service and support. How’s att for you?

Been good for the last year, no outages and no shortage of service unless it's obvious I'll be in an area without it... But I'm with you on that it's probably not much different from Verizon and other big name carriers. That's why we decided to go off cost.

I have iPhone my wife has android. We are gaming the system so at least one of us has service.

Well, we both have iphones but now I'm thinking about putting her on ATT and maybe me keep Verizon so that we can hope to do the same.

 

[Jsouder53]

Sounds like it might be ATT as well.

Take a look at Google Fi. It has worked well for us for quite a few years. Google Fi makes use of other cell networks (e.g. T-MOBILE) but as a sort of logical overlay.
