While AT&T works to figure out what caused the outage for customers in major cities, users are resorting to using “SOS mode,” which enables emergency services and shares your location. NBC’s Brian Cheung reports that Emergency Services is calling on users not to call 911 to test if phones are connected to the network.

calling 911 as a test to see if the network is working?…. you can call literally anyone for that.
Good thing they told us to take the landines down and basic cable away so everything is linked together, so when it all goes down we can’t get news, only an old radio might work
Att sucks
Year 2000 this was not a worry
Watching that leave the world away movie creeped me out and this reminded me of that . I bet this was a test cyber attack to see how effective the network take down can be . And we will never know the truth if it was an enemy nation or not .
I wouldn't want to be a Network Technician @ AT&T Wireless right now!
If you need to teach people who spend $1k how to use their phones, thye probably should not be buying phones at that price
Good news billing department works
This just shows that if 💩 hits the fan people are not ready! We’ve become to dependent on our phones. This should be a major red flag 🚩
Video doesn’t even answer the question in the title
WiFi calling did not work. WiFi calls still have to connect to the AT&T network, and that was dead. As far as SOS mode, it's the same thing. Your phone needs to connect to a working cell network to call 911. If everything is down, your phone can't magically make 911 calls.
You guys have no idea what’s coming! Arm yourselves!!!
Hope all is well 🙏 Stay safe USA
My mom did have issues with it and kids at school also, but i didn't get any issues eith atnt at all, also at the same time. When landline was getting removed, nice job atnt keep the landlines
