June 4 (Reuters) - AT&T ( T ) said late on Tuesday that
an issue that had prevented making some calls to other wireless
carriers had been resolved.
Earlier, AT&T ( T ), Verizon and T-Mobile said
they were all experiencing issues with some calls between
carriers.
"The interoperability issue between carriers has been
resolved. We collaborated with the other carrier to find a
solution and appreciate our customers patience," AT&T ( T ) said in a
statement.
Some customers in multiple states had said they were
unable to complete calls, prompting the Federal Communications
Commission to investigate.
Verizon said in a statement earlier that its network was
operating normally, but some customers in the U.S. Northeast and
Midwest were "experiencing issues when calling or texting
customers served by another carrier."
Tracking website Downdetector.com showed more than 2,300
outage reports as of 5:46 p.m. EDT, with the New York City
borough of Brooklyn, Chicago and Philadelphia among the most
reported locations.
T-Mobile US ( TMUS ) said it was "not experiencing an outage. We are
seeing Down Detector increases with other providers, so this
likely could be challenges our customers are having connecting
with users on other networks."
The FCC and New York Attorney General Letitia James said in
February they were investigating the cause of an AT&T ( T )
outage that month as well as the telecom firm's response. The
outage lasted more than 10 hours and impacted more than 70,000
customers.
AT&T ( T ) credited customers a full day of service for the
outage.
