Thanks to a tip from one of our trusty Ninjas, we’ve received word that AT&T’s entire East Coast POS system is down. Details are admittedly a bit scant at the moment, but from what we can gather all transactional systems are offline at the moment. What this means, essentially, is that any and all sales, i.e. bill payment, upgrades, new line activations, and more, are basically impossible to execute. No word from AT&T themselves as to when we might expect a fix, but given the systemic nature of th problem we can imagine that the company is hard at work on a fix. Anyone out there experiencing issues?

Thanks, DB!

UPDATE: It looks like things are back up as of around 12:10pm EST. Let the spending continue…
