OK I was told that the major Cell carriers did an update on their cell towers
today and to have everyone do a *228
on their Cell .. there were a few people at work today that were
having issues until they updated..

on your cell hitting *228 will reset it...
it "reactivates" your phone somehow..

all I know is it was a multi carrier issue and all of my co-workers were told to call *228 and follow the directions and after that the
phones worked. maybe they fixed it and did not need
to have all of America reboot..

but in the Lunch room this morning it was chaos..
no text or voicemails.. kind of funny
