Some iPhones in upper Manhattan have no cellular access on T-Mobile. Is anyone else seeing this, and is there a useful way to tell whether it is a network issue?

There were reports of T-Mobile trouble in several states, so it may not be limited to upper Manhattan. But other connections were still working, so that does not establish a nationwide outage.

Check T-Mobile's support channels and an outage reporting site, then compare with another line nearby if you can. Reports alone won't tell you exactly what's broken, but they can help distinguish a wider problem from one phone having trouble.

The reports weren't consistent even among phones close together. One connection working doesn't rule out an issue affecting another line or device, and the problem doesn't necessarily appear to be limited to iPhones.

DNS came up as a possible cause, but that's speculation. No confirmed cause was provided, so I wouldn't spend time changing DNS settings based on those reports.
