Our hearts are with the communities affected by the devastating wildfires across Washington state. Overall, our wireless network continues to operate normally in affected areas, with the exception of one cell site in Spokane. To help minimize potential service disruptions during high demand periods, we’ve adjusted settings at surrounding cell sites in the impacted area.
The FirstNet Response Operations Group™ (ROG) – led by former first responders – is on the ground and guiding the deployment of dedicated FirstNet assets and other solutions based on public safety’s needs.
As a reminder to our AT&T Postpaid & Prepaid customers in affected areas, we are waiving overage charges to provide unlimited talk, text and data through Sept. 1,2016. Please see the “Supporting our Customers” section of this page for more information.
We continue to monitor the situation closely and remain focused on keeping you connected.
