AT&T customers report widespread outages Wednesday
AT&T said some customers had reported that they could not use their cell phones to make calls on Wednesday, but those customers have been told in a tweet from the company that if they had this issue, they should turn their phones off then back on to resolve the problem.
If you've experienced an issue when making wireless calls, please restart your device, this might be required multiple times- that should resolve the issue.
