This may not be the best place to ask this question because all you
old fogies were probably in bed at midnight, :-).... but here
goes.......

Last night at approx. midnight ( I am not sure of the exact time
altho
I did receive a text at 11:32 Pm ), both my wifes phone and my phone
wouldn't receive or transmit any calls. We both are on Sprint. This
lasted until after 2 am. Then both phones started opertaing
correctly.
Since we were at a party, I had a couple different people try to call
me. They got to my voicemail, but our phones wouldn't ring. They had
different carriers.


Anybody else stay up late enough to see if this happened to their
phones?

Hell, youngster--- I was asleep for an hour by midnight. And what's
a cell phone? You in prison or somethin'?

Did you try clickin' the receiver handle and crankin' at the same
time. Sometimes the operator is jes sleepin and you gotta wake her
up.

Our phones are on VZW so no idea what might have been happening on
Sprint. What you described could be something as simple as problems at
the local cell or nationwide.

Do your wifes know about each other? I think this is illegal in all
the States!

I looked back to see if it was Stormy with the problem.

a typical overloaded system response, common around here during
weather and traffic emergencies.

There were power outages in the NE on 9/11?
I do know a lot of TV stations went off the air when the second tower
collapsed since a lot of their antennas were on the roof.
I was watching CNN when it fell and CNN went off the air, but other
stations whose antennas were not on the tower still were broadcasting..

Not Hank -------------- thinking you're correct.

My Verizon network worked fine. I'm guessing the Sprint network couldn't
handle the abundant texting and calls of Happy New Year.
