[VoiceOps] t-mobile outage

[Scott Berkman]

So since we talk about Voice Ops here, what might cause this type of outage?
Seems to be one of the worst voice outages (as opposed to data) on a major
cell network in recent memory.

 

Most of the reports I see talk about people having bars but being unable to
complete calls, and some users report no data problems.  Sounds to me like a
SS7 signaling issue, or maybe there was an error in rolling out a switching
software update that took out a number of nodes that might have to be
recovered somehow, possibly on site.

Yes, it was discussed on the outages listserv a few hours ago.

Ive been getting reports from a few customers who cant reach certain cell
phones.. They all seem to be t-mobile...

I guess they are having a huge outage..
