NO edge service, AT&T says they are aware? Anyone else?

[robby69]

Anyone else experience this?

I started getting an error message on my iphone today saying "you are not subscribed to edge"
I called AT&T, and after getting transferred to tech support, then said they were aware of it and there was a widespread outage. They could either turn edge back on and I would be charged at a per kb rate and they would credit me back when it was fixed, or edge could remain off and I would receive a phone call when service was restored.

I couldn't do the per KB charge since I am on a pay as you go plan.

I asked if there were any plans to credit me back for those days that I had paid for unlimited edge and not able to use it, they said no.. since they are agreeing to credit back per KB charges...Stupid AT&T

central illinois.. the weird thing is that rep said he could turn on edge (so I assume it IS working), but I would be charged at per KB rate and credited until the unlimited was working..

That seems a bit unlikely. If that does happen, then once you get the bill I would highly suggest contacting AT&T and complaining profusely. I'm still getting full service and EDGE down in Florida. Maybe it's weather related.

I'm in pa by Philly and I've been on edge all day reading the macworld updates. Must be a location thing

i activated my iphone in central illinois, it took me hours before i got my first signal, i litterally drove around while i had the att/apple tech guy on the phone telling me if i was in a good coverage area or not... stupid illinois.

I'm in Vail, Colorado right now and Edge seems to be faster than usual. I had to keep checking to see if I were on the hotel's WiFi...M
