AT&T iPhone EGDE Down

Posted in Apple, Cellphone, Uptime, iPhone by Elliott Back on July 3rd, 2007.

AT&T is getting overwhelmed! They just can’t keep their data network online, according to reports from Howard Forums:

Reports coming in on MacRumors that EDGE is down on iPhones… I can confirm, I haven’t been able to get any EDGE data all morning. I’m in Tucson, AZ. Users from Philadelphia, LA, Sacramento, and Washington have all reported the same thing. iPhone users - can you connect and get data via EDGE? (Simple test is to turn WiFi off, and open the weather widget - does it refresh?).

Another post suggests that there’s been almost half a day of downtime:

I have the cingular 8525, and both the EDGE/3G connectivity was down since morning today(07/02) in the san francisco bay area. I had called tech support and he made me do all sorts of things like take the battery out and put it back blah, before telling me that he had to make sure I haven’t done something to the settings, and that there is a “nationwide edge outage”. anyhoo, it seems to be back up now (about 4:00pm on the west coast).

When people are saying things like “Edge is down in Honolulu Hawaii since 9:45 am Hawaii this morning.” you have to wonder if AT&T is the right partner for Apple. I say not.
