Does pure talk use att's network?  They are having a nationwide texting outage but it seems to be spotty.  I can't text but my bof friend can.

Christine is correct, AT&T had serious network issues on the 28th impacting SMS delivery for most of IA, IL, IN, KY, MI, MO, OH, PA, TN and WI. This was a problem that impacted all AT&T customers, including wholesale MVNO users (which includes Puretalk USA).

I'm sure you're getting texts again at this point, but might as well give you documentation so you know what actually happened and don't blame Puretalk for the outage.
