T-Mobile users experienced widespread outages Monday afternoon, as many reported being unable to call or text. Down Detector, which tracks cellular and other outages, reported T-Mobile outages in California, Georgia, Florida, New York, Texas and Washington, D.C. T-Mobile President of Technology Neville Ray tweeted Monday afternoon that engineers were working to solve the issue. Outages among other carriers were also reported to Down Detector, but AT&T and Verizon both reported that their networks were working normally.

Sprint, which is owned by T-Mobile, and US Cellular did not comment, but issues have been reported with both carriers.
