Tracking on Twitter, the T-Mobile Help account has received a number of complaints in the last 20 minutes about downed cell service.

So far, the Help page has not commented on the matter other than to ask customers to provide their address for further help. Like on Reddit, the reports on Twitter seem mostly set in Utah.

Strangely, we're seeing a ton of complaints of down service from Utah but Down Detector isn't showing much from that state. Instead, their map is showing more reports out of the south east and in Phoenix. Though a number of comments are from Utahans.

Another site, Outage Report is only really showing Utah as having T-Mobile issues.

Tom's Guide has reached out to T-Mobile for more information or comment.
