According to AT&T's official X/Twitter account, the ongoing iPhone SOS service outage is officially over. The network has struggled to resolve an ongoing outage since earlier in the day, causing many iPhone users to be stuck in SOS mode, unable to connect to the cellular service, and with some unable to contact emergency services.
AT&T's outage quickly became a small-scale crisis as customers of Verizon, T-Mobile, Cricket, and more, wrongfully assumed that their cellular service was also at fault, registering service disruption reports with outage tracking website DownDetector and causing spikes in disrupted service reports across the board for many networks that were experiencing no fault at all.
