A data outage has been affecting some Mint Mobile subscribers throughout the day. One of Mint’s co-founders, Rizwan Kassim, posted about the issue on Reddit:
It’s being worked, they don’t have a root cause yet, but I know this has been escalated. Down Detector showing issues on our carrier as well; not sure if it’s related or not.
I strongly think, but do not know, that this has nothing to do with the iOS 14 upgrade many of you installed today.
Based on reports I’ve read from Mint subscribers, the issue appears widespread geographically. I don’t know what proportion of Mint’s subscriber base is affected.
Kassim’s Reddit post suggests the issue may also be affecting T-Mobile. While Downdetector shows a slightly unusual level of issues associated with T-Mobile, I don’t think Downdetector’s data is consistent with a large-scale problem for T-Mobile subscribers.
I did a bit of my own digging for T-Mobile subscribers’ complaints about the networks’ performance today. I didn’t run into anything out of the ordinary.
what’s the current status?? I’m still with no internet in CT.
Same here since yesterday from Maryland.I need my internet connection.
Thanks for this article, it’s consistent with what Mint Mobile support told me. As of this morning, still no mobile data. My wife is on T-Mobile and hasn’t had any issues, so at least here in Long Island NY it appears to be only Mint’s service that’s affected.
