UPDATE:
As of 2:40 p.m., Cellcom has issued a statement saying they are still unsure when service will be restored but that data services, iMessage and RCS messaging remains available for most users. Emergency calls to 911 are still available. Customers may contact Cellcom through their customer service chat here.
Cellcom advises using other apps on your phone to connect with friends and family, as they still deal with an outage impacting their text and voice services. The cellphone company notified its customers at around 11 p.m. Wednesday that they were experiencing an outage affecting their voice network, but that data and text services were still working.
After 6 a.m., the outages spread to its SMS messaging service.
As of 10:45 a.m., Cellcom is still working on the issue with no timeline for getting everything back online. Since data services are not affected, Cellcom is advising its customers to use applications like iMessaging, RCS messaging, or third-party applications like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger to contact people.
