The Mammoth AT&T office said the angry callers continue to dial their number. They told Sierra Wave Media that technicians are “wirelessly diagnosing the problems” from Southern California.

We talked to some Mammoth residents who said their service has been on and off. Amber Dessert of AT&T in Mammoth Lakes told us that the staff has “been getting calls complaining about service all day long.”  She said something is going on with service, but they don’t know what.
