DALLAS (AP) - AT&T Inc. (ATT) said service for customers with Web-enabled wireless phones in the Midwest and Southeast was restored to normal Thursday.
For most of the day, customers could make voice calls but experienced trouble getting e-mail or connecting to the Internet with their smart phones or laptop computer connection cards, said AT&T spokesman Mark Siegel.
The outage on the nation's largest telecommunications company's 3G and Edge networks began about 5:30 a.m. CST and was repaired by midafternoon, he said.
The company didn't know Thursday what caused the problem.
