A large-scale AT&T outage across the US has been acknowledged by the carrier, which says it is investigating.

Issues have also been reported by T-Mobile and Verizon customers, but based on the limited information available so far, it appears they are only experiencing problems when attempting to call AT&T users …

Reuters reports that the issue began in the early hours of this morning.

More than 32,000 outage incidents were reported with AT&T’s service around 4:30 a.m. ET, according to data from outage tracking website Downdetector.com. Impacted cities included San Francisco, Houston and Chicago, the website showed.

Multiple 911 centers have reported that users have been unable to use the emergency number.

Emergency callers are being advised to use a landline if possible, and to text 911 (where supported) if a cellphone is the only option, as texts appear to still be getting through.
