Major Phone Outage

Recommended Posts

Woke up this morning to an unusually quiet phone

this has affected my personal and work phone down here in NS - they are saying it’s a nationwide issue with FIDO & ROGERS 

Wondering how many people are being interrupted by this technical issue & how far spread we are?

Hoping it returns soon! Totally grateful it hasn’t affected my wifi at least 😂

My phone out all day...back about an hour or so ago.  Phone is everything...phone, internet, email, text, banking etc etc etc...and in this day and age people live through their cell phones, not land lines

Very quiet day

Glad...touch wood Rogers is back

Some are saying that all cell phone company shut down while they were starting the 5G services.  Not sure how much of that is true.

That is something I can totally believe 🙊 

there’s multiple outages reported mainly from Rogers but I’ve spoke to people from various companies who experienced brief outages. 
 

a friend of mine in Scarborough had said a local news outlet put out a story saying it may have been due to protests taking place in Ontario and Quebec they created the “shutdown” in services. Not sure how true that is either but definitely could be possible 🤷🏼‍♀️ I would assume they would have shut down the wifi towers at the same time but what do I know 😝

@roamingguy when your phone returned service did u receive the missed notifications u had for the day? Or did it just pick up service without showing the missed messages for the day? 

All I got back were messages I had saved (some very important like my covid vaccination appointment)...I don't know if I got any texts or phone calls though nothing showed but maybe yesterday no one even called...don't know

Just an update no one called/texted me yesterday...I contacted a few people saying I was alive and well...response "so...???"  😆 😢

Everything normal in my life at least 😆

Good Luck To All Other Rogers Customers

I got a flood of text messages within the last hour @roamingguy

First time in my lifetime I had to experience this — hoping that’s the last of it! 
Enjoy your week hun! Xo

Still no texts emails etc for me...I'm unloved 😢

Seriously have a good day and great week and let's hope nothing like this (or worse) happens ever again
