The cause of the outage is unknown, affecting AT&T Mobility users primarily in cities like Houston, Atlanta, Miami, Chicago, and others. Other carriers like Cricket Mobile, Verizon, and T-Mobile also reported outages, with FirstNet for first responders impacted. AT&T\'s wifi services remained largely unaffected.
