OK, service has been restored for us in HI on T-Mobile. It’s concerning to me that just ONE fire and ONE line being burned disrupts so many different things throughout the ENTIRE state! My husband, whose career was computers and telephones and tech said there are SUPPOSED to be at least two lines so that if one goes down there is at least one backup, but of course when budgets are tight (as is commonly the case), the backup is deferred, sometimes re-deferred.

I’m glad our service was not disrupted too long, just some hours. It makes you realize just how much you rely upon your phone to be used to make calls, text and for data!
