Problems with Cell Phones
« on: December 28, 2008, 04:15:01 PM »
Is anyone else having problems with their cell phones today? I nor my hubby can get a signal on our cells, they are AT&T. Anyone else having this problem? It's been since about 9:30AM that we cannot get them to work and these are the only phones that we have. Just great huh?  >:( And yes I did pay the bill.  :)

she mentioned it over in the "what are you thinking about right now" thread... 

not sure what time she heard them though...

We don't have a home phone anymore either ;) ;)

We heard text message pings on my husband's phone a few minutes ago, but that connection didn't last long. Our AT&T wireless phones have been out of service most of the day.

Now, this situation is one of the reasons we still keep a landline. I was able to make a phone call this afternoon on the house phone. It's happened during storms and other emergencies that cell towers have been knocked out of service or overloaded with calls -- I've personally run into that situation here in Monroe in recent years.
