I was told when this happened with ATT a few weeks ago that the account owners phone was fucked and all the sub accounts were good plus business accounts were unexpected.
I lost coverage for 5 hours on my personal ATT phone but I was able to use my work ATT phone to call my wife.
I'm not sure there are many Americans that would do field work for $50/hr and on top of that, farmers would have to pay actual labor overhead and have a certain standard of work.
And tomorrow they'll start cleaning voting rosters...
