Sprint: "We don't need those servers over there, turn them off"
Sprint is having a cell phone outage affecting the entire east coast, any phone which was EVER on the Nextel network, even if subsequently moved to Sprint years ago, calls not going through. ETTR 1pm CST. Apparently Sprint shut down the servers which controlled the Nextel network, after shutting down the Nextel network itself two weeks ago, not taking into consideration that turning off those Nextel servers would break the ability to use many Sprint phones. "Unintended consequences" Tony Patti CIO S. Walter Packaging
Sounds like someone didn't analyze what the servers actually did. -Grant On Mon, Jul 15, 2013 at 8:33 AM, Tony Patti <tony@swalter.com> wrote:

I think this list is limited to topic updating information. Any updates should be restricted to the outage. Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337 Troy, OH 45373 On Jul 15, 2013 4:53 PM, "Aloiamoa Anesi" <aanesi@bluesky.as> wrote:

All, Sprint has been advertising for sometime that they are going to shutdown the nextel network. I do not know if this is related to that. ----- Original Message ----- From: Tony Patti <tony@swalter.com> To: outages@outages.org Sent: Mon, 15 Jul 2013 11:33:50 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [outages] Sprint: "We don't need those servers over there, turn them off" Sprint is having a cell phone outage affecting the entire east coast, any phone which was EVER on the Nextel network, even if subsequently moved to Sprint years ago, calls not going through.
