There’s a major cellular outage affecting T-Mobile right now

Update, July 11, 2026 (07:22 PM ET): T-Mobile just reached out to Android Authority to share an update on the situation:

“Our teams are actively working the reports of technical challenges impacting some customers. Any service impacts are in the process of being resolved and are our highest priority. We know how critical it is to stay connected, and every available resource is focused on resolving this as quickly as possible.”

Original article, July 11, 2026 (05:34 PM ET): If your T-Mobile, Verizon, or AT&T smartphone finds itself stuck on Wi-Fi this afternoon, take heart in knowing that your cellular struggles are not happening in a vacuum — right now, multiple carriers appear to be in the midst of a rather large service disruption.

Over on Reddit’s T-Mobile sub, users started reporting connection issues about an hour ago. With comments pouring in from subscribers in California, New York, and Georgia, it appears that wide swaths of the US could be impacted.

It hasn’t even been one week since the last big T-Mobile outage we shared with you, making this a particularly frustrating time for the carrier’s users.

Presumably due to its reliance on T-Mobile’s network, Google Fi users report a service interruption, too.

While T-Mobile appears to be the carrier that’s primarily affected, with the most individual subscriber posts popping up on social media, checking out DownDetector, we also find outage reports spiking for AT&T and Verizon.

For AT&T, we see user reports mentioning an outage in Nevada, but it’s not yet clear just how widespread these incidents are across all three carriers. Based on the nature of the failure, we may be looking at some kind of issue with a backbone provider or interconnect, rather than something specific to one cellular network.
