@ecksmc someone probably used metal in the break room microwave, again.
🤔 @ecksmc 🤨
Why did iPhone users
(with other cell providers ) receive a message they changed their password and today they claimed it was an error?
🤷🏻♀️
@WomanVoter i don't know anything about iPhone users receiving msgs about PW's not heard/read anything about that either
where did you hear/see that??
only thing i heard/read was "Users of other carriers, including Verizon and T-Mobile, also reported issues but those companies said their networks were operating normally and the problems were likely stemming from customers trying to connect to AT&T users"
and see screenshot regarding iPhones
AT&T said the hourslong outage to its U.S. cellphone network Thursday appeared to be the result of a technical error, not a malicious attack.
