Aaron315 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Huge outage in the midwest. IP seems to be OK but calling and text is down. Any insight on what goes on? @sprintcare seems aware of the outage but not telling whats up.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaferz Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Hearing the same thing from folks in Central IL. Calling and texting is not working. Have not heard anything beyond that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowmobiler487 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Same thing happening to me in Wisconsin except that texts still work, I just get 10 copies of each message sent to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmidtj Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I can confirm. I knew something was strange when I got 20+ duplicate SMS messages from Google Calendar when I should have only gotten two. I figured Google or Sprint was having an issue. I can not make outgoing voice calls. Incoming calls go direct to VM. SMS seems useable and Data seems fine. I'm in a near north Chicago suburb.

tommym65 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Multiple people on down detector said that it might be due to an earthquake an Illinois!! http://wgntv.com/2015/03/25/2-9-magnitude-seismic-event-strikes-lake-in-the-hills-area/ It was a tiny earthquake nowhere near any Sprint infrastructure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiWavelength Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 If this is the Midwest outage thread, I am going to take a proactive stance -- before someone else "outs" me. Yes, I live in the Midwest. And, yes, I am attracted to websites like S4GRU. There, I said it... AJ 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JossMan Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Outage in the Midwest, well, there is an ongoing severe weather outbreak occurring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgguy Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I know comcast also had a problem in the Chicago area so it might have been related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
always_learner Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I think rootmetrics tested Chicago around late March for 1st half 2014. I wonder if the outage will have any effect on Sprint's score for 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
