5:05PM Pacific Time - - Apparently T-Mobile is experiencing some outage issues right now. Reports are widespread and appear to be nation wide. We have confirmed cases of T-Mobile users in New York, Texas, Washington, and California who are not able to receive incoming calls or texts, nor can they make any outbound connections.

We've called T-Mobile and they became aware of the situation about an hour ago but don't know what's causing the outage and there's no estimate for when it will be back. Please refrain from calling T-Mobile and inundating their phone lines with reports. We'll be updating the status here whenever we get more news!
