If you haven't yet heard, last Tuesday many T-Mobile users experienced a massive outage. From text messages not sending to calls not going through, and even the data network being down, T-Mobile customers everywhere were having problems. Although T-Mobile claims that it only affected 5% of their network users, if you read comments on posts from people affected there are definitely a lot more people affected by it. The outage was caused by a software error, which I believe was caused by the network being upgraded to 3G or something of the kind. Of you Sprint users out there, and of other networks (besides AT&T...) are probably feeling pretty happy with your decision with wireless providers, as you probably already have 3G services, maybe even 4G with Sprint, and you all didn't have your phones out for eight hours like some T-Mobile customers. Feel glad to be at Sprint, and not T-Mobile, at a time like this!
