Is T-Mobile down? Thousands of users report outage on Tuesday afternoon

On Tuesday afternoon, thousands of T-Mobile users suddenly began to report outages with the phone service.

According to outage detector site Downdetector, the peak of outages hit around 2:30 p.m. ET, when more than 19,000 users reported problems. The majority of reports indicated users did not have signal.

Another outage tracking site, downforeveryoneorjustme.com, shows the same trend, with hundreds of users reporting service issues. In what could be a cascading effect, Mint Mobile, which also runs on the T-Mobile network is also experiencing issues as their Down Detector reports spiked to more than 1,000 at 2:37 p.m.

T-Mobile isn't the first mobile provider to face issues on Tuesday, as Verizon users also experienced outages in the Northeast earlier in the day.

"A network issue early this morning disrupted service for some Verizon Fios customers in the Northeast for a short period of time. As soon as the issue was identified, our engineering teams quickly restored the service," Verizon said in a social media post on Tuesday afternoon.

USA TODAY could not immediately reach T-Mobile for comment.
