    Made me laugh. All those knuckleheads with their faces buried in their phone mustve had some serious DT's. If my flip phone goes down, ill toss it and live happily ever after.

    I have Verizon and didn’t have any problems but a lot of people I know did. I believe it was a test to see what people would do.
    My girlfriend said what would happen if we lost phone service I said I guess we would have to go back to the old ways of actual going to your friends houses

    I never knew there was an outage till I came here.
