- It's a day or two ago now, but where I work here in San Diego, we
- couldn't use AT&T either. Most calls were blocked, both in and out.
-
- Unfortunately, our phone consultant has yet to reprogram the company
- switch to permit 10xxx dialing, so we couldn't even try other carriers.
-
- We did get an AT&T operator who explained that "one of the other
- carriers" was having a problem (likely cable cut) but that the Pacific
- Bell office couldn't handle things. Seems to me they should have been
- able to.
