    In a previous statement sent to CNN, the company said a problem
    prevented many AT&T customers from completing calls between carriers.
    That also means customers from a rival service could not place calls to
    an AT&T customer.

    The outage comes less than four months after a massive disruption that
    knocked out service for AT&TrCOs network for nearly 12 hours. In
    February, tens of thousands of AT&T customers in America were unable to
    make phone calls, send texts, reach emergency services or access the
    internet because of an AT&T network outage.

    In March, the telecommunications company said it had been hacked in a
    separate incident, and the stolen data contained information such as
