AT&T customers across the U.S. are reporting a network outage on Tuesday that’s stopping them from making calls to people with other network carriers. DownDetector appears to show reports from customers at T-Mobile and Verizon as well, though it’s not clear whether those reports are from people simply trying to reach AT&T users.

“There is a nationwide issue that is affecting the ability of customers to complete calls between carriers,” an AT&T spokesperson told Gizmodo. “The carriers are working as quickly as possible to diagnose and resolve the issue.”

The company told ABC News that calls to 911 are not impacted and should be working normally.

AT&T suffered a widespread outage across the country back in February that hampered not only voice calls but any connectivity on the network nationwide. Initial suspicions online saw users speculate it may have been the result of a cyberattack, a rumor that AT&T denied.

AT&T eventually apologized for the outage and offered customers a $5 credit. Some customers complained, but AT&T defended the rebate by saying it was roughly the “average cost of a full day of service.”

Verizon and T-Mobile didn’t immediately respond to questions on Tuesday. Gizmodo will update this post if we hear back.
