AT&T Mobile Users Plagued By Outages

The AP reports that some AT&T mobile Internet customers in parts of the US were faced with service outages on Wednesday.

According to the news service, smartphone users in the Midwest and Southeast were able to make phone calls, but couldn’t connect to the Internet or check e-mail. The same connection troubles also affected folks in those regions using broadband connection cards in their laptops.

Both AT&T’s 3G and Edge networks experienced the outages, which started very early this morning, the AP said, citing an AT&T spokesman.
