SEATTLE — T-Mobile subscribers are having problems sending text messages and receiving phone calls.

It's not known how widespread the service outage is or what caused it. T-Mobile representatives did not immediately return calls seeking more information. However, calls placed to the cell phones of several T-Mobile representatives could not be connected.

T-Mobile's official Twitter account says the company is aware of the disruption and has sent teams out to fix it.

This could be the second black eye for T-Mobile, a unit of Deutsche Telekom AG, in less than a month. In October, a server failure caused customers with Sidekick-brand phones to lose much of their data.

(sigh) I want to like you, T-Mobile, but you make it so hard sometimes.

1. Yeah, people are bitching about it hardcore on FB

As someone who doesn't text and rarely even uses my phone I find the angst rather amusing.

2. these carriers have a horrible time doing the right thing for their customers

I love my phone, but the service 1 out 10 times doesn't let people hear me when I start talking on the call, they send the wrong photo than the one selected, and other annoyances. I used to have tmobile, but I've realized they're all mediocre.

4. I haven't received text messages for several hours.

Phone calls either.

5. My voice service is fine

but my text is down. Problem is I never, ever, ever talk on the phone. I much prefer text.

Irritating.

6. Hmm. I was wondering why I hadn't heard from my brood all day

They're usually calling me several times a day to complain about their jobs, classes, each other, etc. I could get to like this.

9. Blackberry 8100 Pearl

Go figure - I can get to the net on it. But no text or voice calls. Can't even reach my voicemail! :rant:

Good luck to those who are messed up.

11. don't know if mine is working or not - have to blow the dust off first

Nobody calls me and I rarely call anyone. Sometimes I wonder why I have a phone at all.
