Source? Do you mean 2300-0300 EST? I use iMessages in the middle of the night nearly every night and I've never had a problem at night. This outage today is affecting me as well as the one last month, but both were in the daytime.Yes. This was a known outage though. They were taking it down today trying to fix something but expected it to last a while. Meaning Apple was taking down the servers.
They don't tell the customers because we would be outraged. They take the servers down once a week a minimum. It happens normally 11-3 pst. To not mess with the sleeping east coasters. By market there are more east coast day to day iMessage users than pst and mst combined.
Every carrier gets notified ahead of time so it's customers service agents have a heads up and know how to deal with calls about it.Source? Do you mean 2300-0300 EST?

Excellent!It's back for me. Of course, when I call customer service, things get done.

My customer service calls tend to have an overflow effect.Thanks to Naps telling them who he was, mine is now back.
I'm so excited.![]()
Do you guys get a lot of people calling Sprint (instead of Apple) asking why iMessages is down? That's simultaneously funny and sad.Every carrier gets notified ahead of time so it's customers service agents have a heads up and know how to deal with calls about it.
My time frame stated is for the regular monthly maintenance that occurs typically on the first Sunday of the month.
This outage was "to repair a known problem"
I would say 95% of iPhone users call their carrier first.Do you guys get a lot of people calling Sprint (instead of Apple) asking why iMessages is down? That's simultaneously funny and sad.
