TL;DR
- T-Mobile’s cellular network appears to be currently experiencing an outage.
- The issue appears to also involve carriers like Mint and Google Fi, operating off T-Mobile’s network.
Cellular carriers are not having the best week. We’re just a couple days removed from a major Verizon outage that affected users all across the US, and now we’re seeing reports of a similar situation affecting subscribers on T-Mobile and its affiliated networks.
User reports of T-Mobile service disruptions started flooding into Down Detector starting at approximately 2:30pm ET (via Wet Gravity on X). We’re seeing similar behavior among reports for Mint Mobile, as well as Google Fi.
It’s unclear yet just how localized this outage might be, but we’re spotting a group of reports on the T-Mobile Reddit sub started by user yung_yung1121 that describe problems with the network across Virginia and Maryland.
At least some of these reports do note T-Mobile service coming back online within the past 10 minutes, so there’s a chance the situation could already be resolving itself. We’ve already reached out to T-Mobile, and we’ll keep this post updated with any new information we learn.
