The landline in question is now working again as is AT&T Repair Service, which I was never able to find working yesterday. Makes me wonder if they were hacked, but I’ll probably never know.
The purpose of my post was to gather information. If several people had responded yesterday saying yes, their landline was down and they too couldn’t contact repair service and if such respondents were from all over the country, I would have seriously considered grabbing cash out of the safe and making an emergency food and supply run to walmart and the drug store.
Had my Internet and cell phone also not have been working I would have hurriedly turned on my TV to local stations for news about the outage (which I did anyway and found nothing). Had they have reported an outage, or been unavailable, I would have been out the door like a shot, while trying to find news on the car radio.
The landline belongs to a family member. Personally I got rid of mine years ago. However, there is a small chance that a landline might continue to work when all else fails.
