AT&T customers in Chicago have been experiencing disruptions in cell phone
service throughout the day due to a power failure in Michigan Sunday
morning.

AT&T spokeswoman Meghan Roskopf, also experiencing service disruption, said
via email that technicians are working to restore the equipment Sunday
afternoon.

"At about 9:30 a.m. CST on Dec. 28, a power failure impacted an AT&T
facility in Bloomfield, MI. This situation has resulted in intermittent
disruption of mobile services for customers in some Midwest states,"
Roskopf said in a statement.

"Backup power has subsequently been restored, and AT&T technicians
currently are working to fully restore the impacted equipment."

At 5 p.m., Roskopf said "a substantial portion of the impacted equipment
was back in service" and that crews would be working "around the clock" to
repair the damage.
