Any service impacts are in the process of being resolved and are our highest priority. We know how critical it is to stay connected, and every available resource is\u00a0focused on resolving this as quickly as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Update #1, 3 p.m. PT: Some T-Mobile users report that service is returning to their iPhones. Others, however, say the outage is ongoing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">T-Mobile is down across the United States, and many iPhone users are seeing \u201cSOS\u201d in their device\u2019s status bar. Here\u2019s everything you need to know about today\u2019s T-Mobile outage. <\/p>\n<p>T-Mobile is down, iPhones in \u2018SOS\u2019 mode<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Data aggregated by <a href=\"https:\/\/downdetector.com\/status\/t-mobile\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Downdetector<\/a> shows that the T-Mobile outage began right around 4 p.m. ET\/1 p.m. PT. The outage appears to be widespread, with users across the United States reporting problems with their service. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/tmobile\/comments\/1v8bw52\/t_mobile_outage\/?share_id=RDux-zLsf8vxNFzt3_6je&amp;utm_content=2&amp;utm_medium=ios_app&amp;utm_name=ioscss&amp;utm_source=share&amp;utm_term=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">thread on Reddit<\/a> has amassed thousands of complaints from T-Mobile subscribers who say they are unable to place calls, send texts, and use cellular data on their devices. There are also thousands of <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/search?q=t-mobile%20down&amp;src=typed_query&amp;f=live\" rel=\"nofollow\">complaints<\/a> from T-Mobile users on other social networks. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several of us here at 9to5Mac are also impacted by the T-Mobile outage and are unable to use any cellular networking features on our iPhones. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1898\" height=\"1262\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/screenshot-2026-07-27-at-17.16.38.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1062396\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">iPhone users affected by the outage are <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/120000\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">seeing the \u201cSOS\u201d icon<\/a> in their device\u2019s status bar. This indicates there is no network connectivity whatsoever. If you see this on your iPhone, it means T-Mobile is down in your area due to the outage. You can, however, still make emergency calls.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of right now, T-Mobile has not commented on the outage and it\u2019s unclear when it will be fixed. it doesn\u2019t appear that other carriers, including Verizon and AT&amp;T, are also down. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you affected by today\u2019s T-Mobile outage?
