AT&T outage in February blocked over 92 million calls, report reveals

Nationwide AT&T Outage Disrupts 92 Million Calls and Thousands of 911 Attempts

A significant AT&T wireless service interruption in February, which persisted for over 12 hours, impeded more than 92 million voice calls and obstructed over 25,000 emergency 911 calls, according to a report by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC). This information emerged following a five-month inquiry by the FCC, which has subsequently passed the case on to its Enforcement Bureau to explore potential breaches of FCC regulations.

During the outage, both voice and 5G data services for AT&T customers across the nation were entirely inoperative. AT&T has yet to issue a statement regarding the incident.
