A post on Reddit about the outage already has more than 5,500 comments, and users are trading rumors about the possible cause of the T-Mobile outage, as well as potential fixes. We’ll continue to update this post as this story develops.

As of this writing, Downdetector shows that thousands of users are still actively submitting error reports. In addition, Status Gator reports that the outage is nationwide, with T-Mobile-connected providers like Mint Mobile and Boost Mobile also experiencing problems.

Shortly after the issues were reported on Downdetector, searches surged on Google for SOS mode, which can appear on devices when service is disrupted. SOS mode means your phone should still be able to make emergency calls via satellite if needed.

On X, dozens of users complained of an outage, with some users specifically complaining about SOS mode.
