AT&T network outages Thursday morning left a wide area of the midwest without cellular service.

By around 11:30 Thursday morning, cell phone services were back working in St Joseph.

“Earlier today, some customers in Kansas and Western Missouri may have experienced issues with 3G wireless services. AT&T technicians quickly worked to resolve the issue, and service is currently running normally, AT&T area spokesperson Chris Lester said.  “We apologize for any inconvenience to our customers.”

Postings on AT&T’s Facebook and Twitter pages indicated the wide-spread outage affected much of Western Missouri and in Kansas, as far west as Witchita.

AT&T U-Verse customers dealt with a 2-3 day outage this week in many parts of the nation. AT&T announced this morning that U-verse service has been restored for the vast majority of customers affected by the outage. We expect any remaining customer issues will be resolved this morning.
