Our teams resolved a service issue affecting a small number of customers on our older LTE core network in the Northeast and Midwest, and restarting devices will reconnect them to the network. Our 5G Standalone network was not impacted. We apologize for any inconvenience to our customers.
The outage appears to affect users in the Midwest and Northeast, with users from Ohio, New Jersey, and Massachusetts saying they aren't getting signals.

The problem also affects Mint Mobile, an MVNO owned by T-Mobile that uses its towers.
According to the outage monitoring website Downdetector, service started deteriorating at around 3 AM ET and has only gotten worse since. That said, though a good many people are experiencing issues, this doesn't seem to be a widespread outage, though that might be because the problem popped up late at night. We are likely to see more complaints once people start getting up.
A couple of users say the problem fixed itself after they restarted their phones.
