[QUOTE="durango, post: 1659327, member: 98789"] OK, Nick - as promised, I did some experimenting this morning (results shown below). I have come to the conclusion that your thinking was correct.....the cellular system in my area was overloaded during the storm and power outage. Here's what I did this morning during good weather (no storms and no power outage): (1) With my Wifi turned on, I tried all 7 weather apps and got excellent results (radar maps, current conditions, forecasts, etc.). This was really the first time that I had done this, because as previously stated I normally use my Win 7 PC for weather data. (2) I then went to Settings and turned Wifi off and Cellular Data on; I immediately noticed the LTE icon. I then repeated trying all 7 weather apps and again got the same excellent results. So I conclude that my cellular system was indeed overloaded; I assume phone calls had higher priority with AT&T than did cellular data. All this is kinda disappointing to me, since I really need weather data when I don't have Wifi. But during the power outage, I was able to make phone calls and send messages on my iPhone......I just couldn't get the weather apps to work. Thanks again for your help. :Cool: [/QUOTE]
