No T-Mobile Service Yesterday

There was near-panic yesterday in Manhattan in T-Mobile stores. All the users of T-Mobile suddenly had their phone service disrupted for hours, but only in Manhattan. Is this common? Nothing was said by the news media and no explanation nor apology given by T-Mobile. Surely they knew about it. Fortunately, I wasn't expecting any calls but imagine those who were. Disgraceful!

I would consider several hours w/o any service as serious. Suppose I had an emergency call? I have not gotten any response from T-Mobile regarding this. I am sorry that I use T-Mobile service but it is the only 1 I could find that offered pay-as-you go pre-paid service. The others require signing a committment, a service contract as well as giving a credit card number.

i have regular T-mobile service here in Texas and didnt have any problems

Wow had to do what we had to do 30yrs ago before cell phones. Use a land line for emergency calls.

Of course I could use a land line but I call I was expecting was given my cell #. I see how reliable cell service is. I should have kept my land line after all!

That is SO crazy, because i live in renton, washington on the WEST coast and my t-mobile wasnt working yesterday either. From about 3:20 pm to 9 something at night.
and there was 4 other people around me with t-mobile phones and there would not work , call text or have any service either ! whats the dang deal !

We also lost service then here in New York City both my friend and I at the same time. No texts nor calls. My friend was expecting an important call too. He was furious. T-Mobile better get their act together. This service problem is not for short times but lasts for hours. I never did trust cellphones; I never had these problems with landlines.

i been having the same problem i got a Shadow and its been dropping calls left and right anywhere!!!!

Yeah, it sounds like something pretty serious happened there.
