In a frustrating turn of events, American subscribers of AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile US are facing international roaming outages, rendering their phones unusable while abroad. The outage is believed to be caused by issues with a third-party service provider, Syniverse.

The problem seems to have persisted for several hours, causing inconvenience and frustration for travelers. Syniverse, a US-based communications provider specializing in roaming services, has acknowledged the breakdown and is actively working with network partners to restore full service. They have expressed understanding for the inconvenience caused and requested patience during this challenging period.

AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon have also confirmed the impact on their international roaming connectivity, blaming it on the issues with Syniverse. T-Mobile stated that they are collaborating with the third-party vendor to resolve the intermittent disruptions affecting some international roaming services. Similarly, AT&T declared that their network, although operating normally, is affected by a third-party vendor's issue, and they are actively working with their roaming connectivity provider to address the problem. Verizon echoed the sentiment, mentioning that a third-party communications provider is struggling to establish voice and data connections for US-based customers traveling overseas.

As the service providers work towards a resolution, many affected subscribers are left with limited or no access to communication services while overseas. This outage emphasizes the reliance on robust international roaming connectivity for business travelers, tourists, and individuals who depend on their phones for essential communication.

The exact nature of the issue with Syniverse has not been disclosed, prompting inquiries for more information. The extended duration of the outage further exacerbates the inconvenience experienced by customers.

For now, affected travelers are encouraged to seek alternative means of communication while service providers strive to resolve the ongoing international roaming outages.
