tmobile service down T Mobile Users Experiencing Service Outage Thoughout U.S.According to T-Mobile, many of their U.S. mobile customers are experiencing problems making calls and receiving text messages. This all started at about 5:30 PM EST and they are reported to be working diligently to repair the issues in a timely manner:

We’re making good progress restoring voice and messaging service to affected customers. At this time, approximately 5 percent of T-Mobile customers are experiencing service disruptions.

Issues began at approximately 5:30 p.m. Eastern time. Our rapid response team is working continuously to fully resolve this disruption.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience that this has caused our customers.

Earlier today I started getting text messages and Google Voice mail saying they could not reach me. Apparently when they would try to call they would get a busy signal or the call would be dropped. I thought that perhaps it was due to an error I had made since I had recently switched my voicemail from YouMail back to T-Mobile and then to Google Voice. This hypothesis seemed to make sense because I was able to make calls but I could not receive them and incoming calls were being forwarded to my Google Voice number.

About 2 hours after I first became aware of the problem I could no longer make any calls and I started seeing the dreaded “Not registered on network” message everytime I attempted a call. Thus I can no longer send or receive any calls or text messages and my voicemail no longer works. Interestingly, my wife has the exact same phone (T-Mobile G1) and area code but her service is working fine. Hopefully T-Mobile will have everything working soon as it’s currently the top trending topic on Twitter right now and I would like to use my phone again!
