This certainly isn’t the kind of publicity the fourth place cell carrier in the US wants. As of now, the entire nationwide T-Mobile network is down. Complaints began flooding twitter and forums this afternoon from all over the country. Users are reporting that their phones show the expected signal, but no calls or data are available. Curiously, calls routed through Google Voice are working as expected.
When the complaints reached a fever pitch shortly ago, T-Mobile released a statement. “T-Mobile customers may be experiencing service disruptions impacting voice and data. Our rapid response teams have been mobilized to restore service as quickly as possible. We will provide updates as more information is available,” said a T-Mobile representative.
We at MaximumPC have confirmed for ourselves by ringing a few associates on T-Mobile. Sure enough, the angelic voices of our friends and neighbors were replaced by a busy signal every time. This matches reports from elsewhere. Hopefully details will emerge later on the exact cause. If you’re a T-Mobile user, can you confirm you have no service?
I lost service

I lost service last night here in the Philly suburbs. I was in a call when it happened too. I don't know if it's back yet or not because I forgot my phone at home when I went to work.

Got a text message around 1 pm today, checked voicemail around 3, used the phone around 6 PM and just checked it now at 10 PM. Working fine all around, no issues. I am just south of LAX.

@ 11:00pm here in Austin, we still have no data (3g or EDGE) or SMS, but voice calls have been going through fine the whole time.

Yea ever since I got the HTC Hero, all my friends (most of which use T-Mobile) were getting at me for using Sprint. Who's laughing now?

Glad I'm not the only one in love with a Hero
