AT&T has left its signal out of San Francisco
Share:
An AT&T customer named Martin Hecko sent out a Tweet saying that he was told that the carrier's data and SMS services were down in the city and would be back up in 24 to 48 hours. Meanwhile, some are reporting that service is back in the area. If you are an AT&T customer in San Francisco, see if you can pull yourself away from the Warrior game for a second and let us know if your cellular service is running at full strength.

sad thing is that most AT&T customers probably aren't even aware that there is an issue with data ongoing right now since they're quite used to having little to no data conections at all (sans WiFi of course). Its like a blind person not noticing the power is out. poor AT&T

If I had this problem with Gayt&t I would switch to Verizon.

This happened yesterday and was resolved yesterday. Why is it 'news' today?

Ha all you verizon fanboys are so funny. You do all you can to mock at&t but the funny thing is you cant even use 90% of the phones in this website cause you have crap CDMA. hahaha

even if the x10 is an awesome phone on t-mobile or at&t i would never switch to them cause i like having signal everywhere i go .i had at&t and t-mobile n there are alot of places like montana for example were at&t and t-mobile are no service while verizon has 5 bars of reception also in the grand canyon at&t and t-mobile are always searching while verizon has full reception if gsm is so great how come they dont offer service in those places?? cdma phones on verizon and sprint works just fine.. i care bout reception thats why i have verizon n i have a droid its not that bad.

All of you knock on AT&T. I actually find AT&T to be really reliable. My AT&T phone works as well as my verizon phone. I had many places where my verizon phone had no service but the AT&T phone had great coverage. And in the end it all comes down to what your coverage looks like so why do a lot of people insist bashing AT&T? They are mad that AT&T doesn't have good coverage in their area so they can't get the iPhone. :)

hey Gsmalltheway... yeah gsm has some benefits but the obvious fact is, even though ATT is a gsm company, it doesn't make them better. SINFULTA posted this the other day Dec 10th in response to a similar argument... "When we did chipset testing on different networks in the SF Bay Area a few months ago, Verizon's data EVDO network during peak time @430pm was only running at 8% of capacity on average, TMobile was at 19%, Sprint at 8.x % (Can't remember, and don't have the sheet infront of me), and ATT's was at 78%. Regardless of what people say CDMA can withstand a ton of more subscribers and bandwith on almost everywhere we tested with my company Qualcomm. It's funny all these arguements about how it's Iphone fault. More-so ATT's fault for no preparing, Tmobiles tested fair by comparison. So I dunno. MSM9200 Chipsets were being tested." ATT's network is being pegged right now with iphone and other heavy data users. people are claiming left and right on phones and service and this and that. what it really boils down to most of the time is not handset but carrier. as for their lack of service in the bay, haha.... that's just old news.
