3:30 a.m. EST Thursday: The number of complaints of AT&T wireless outages continued to decline late Wednesday and early Thursday, according to DownDetector.com.
The website, which keeps track of outage complaints, reported 10 incidents at 3:30 a.m. EST Thursday, down from more than 6,000 at 6 p.m. EST Wednesday.
AT&T acknowledged a service issue preventing some customers from making calls Wednesday evening. The company told customers that restarting their devices "should resolve the issue." AT&T repeated that advice in responses to customers early Thursday.
