Any of You Ladies Use Sprint?

[sstwinklinglites]

Are you having issues with your service? My phone shows bars, but I can't make / receive any calls or texts.

I have Virgin mobile (which uses sprint towers I believe) and I can't make calls either.

I have Sprint. No issues, but that doesn't mean theres not an issue with the towers near you. Have you tried rebootING your phone?

Eta:nevermind, I just tried to call H and him call me. Neither worked.

At one point our service wasn't working and they said they were working on adding 4g towers to the area. But I think that was months ago.

Happy to know it's not just me. I was freaking out because this happened with my last phone soon after DS was born, but it was just me and nobody knew what it was or how to fix it. Then they sent me a replacement phone which turned out to be a lemon.

I checked online, seems to be a huge outage from about IL to OH.

I just checked Sprints community, apparently there was a small earthquake in Illinois that wiped out a large portion of the network. This is effecting customers nationwide.

My friend has Sprint and I just got the same text from her 4 times, and no reply yet. This explains it!

JIC anyone wants to know. The quake was just West of Chicago, registered 2.9 on the Richter scale with a depth of 9.9km.

I really don't know what any of that means. I know hurricanes, not earthquakes. But I wasn't aware Illinois even got earthquakes.

I think they're like Kentucky. It's not the norm, but they sit on a fault line, so an occasional earthquake is possible.
