**T-Mobile and Mint Mobile Face Major Outages on Tuesday Afternoon**
Tuesday afternoon turned out to be difficult for T-Mobile users, as individuals connected to the self-described “un-carrier” reported notable service interruptions. The outages impacted both T-Mobile’s primary network and its affiliate, Mint Mobile, which serves mainly prepaid mobile users.
As reported by DownDetector, a platform that monitors service outages, problems began emerging around 2 p.m. ET. Users of both T-Mobile and Mint Mobile faced connectivity challenges, with reports peaking in large cities like Chicago and Atlanta. Notably, Utah experienced a significant number of outages for both carriers.
By 3:50 p.m. ET, the volume of outage reports had substantially declined, indicating that services were slowly being restored. Although some users continued to face difficulties, the occurrence of new reports had significantly reduced compared to earlier in the day.
During the peak of the disruption, certain areas were hit hardest by the outages, but things seemed to be getting better as the afternoon went on.
As the saying suggests, even the “un-carrier” can experience occasional outages.
