Atari 5200 Guy Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 Are any Atari I/O members with AT&T having cellphone service issues? My wife's phone can not make or receive calls or texts. We were told that AT&T did some kind of enhancement update but it didn't work. We are now without service. I'm just trying to see if this is a local or nationwide incident. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 I use T-Mobile, so I can't help you there. I ran a search and found this page: https://downdetector.com/status/att/map/ It does appear they are having issues in quite a piece of land. Justin 1 Quote 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming...

Atari 5200 Guy Posted September 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 Thanks, guys. We finally got a hold of AT&T (like that was easy) and they decided to "enhance" our towers but it backfired. Now every AT&T customer, locally, is without service, still. It has been two days at least and my wife is disabled and needs her phone. One day is understandable (that is pushing it) but two days is too long. She has no way to contact me if I have to run errands and she should need me. Went to Boost mobile, who uses Sprint, and I think every other customer in there was from AT&T. But I believe we might be switching her from AT&T to Boost. Justin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari 5200 Guy Posted September 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 Just an update, and I am really trying to maintain a friendly conversation through this...our local AT&T towers are not expected to be back on until the 25th. And my wife is not getting any sort of compensation for time she paid for in advance to use that is simply not there. Yea...goodbye AT&T. Anyone here know anything about Boost? All I know is that they use Sprint, and offered us today a Motorola android smartphone for $5. Down fall? We need at least $75 upfront to start a $50 service and $25 one-time activation fee. After that it will be just $50 a month, prepaid, no contract. Opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 Virgin Mobile is what I use. It uses the Sprint network here. $35 per month, no contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like mine can be really spotty at times especially if im indoors. Like if im at work in the back its almost impossible to pull up even a google search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 I recently ditched Virgin Mobile and went with Twigby due to needing a new phone for work. It's only $15 per month, and I'm happy to pocket that extra I was paying before. So far, the service has been perfect. I think it uses the same Sprint network as Virgin did.
