cedros Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 Usually when I travel I post multiple pictures from my cell phone with comments to -Facebook. so family and friends can see what I am doing. I am travelling in South America right now but I cannot post pictures with comments to Facebook. It says that I am not connected. Why not? Do I need individual Sim cards phone for each country that I am in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your current service provider may have a plan with the coverage you need Possibly no change of your sims card. Or maybe you need a new service provider (new sim card) with the correct coverage. Or you wait until you are home to post your pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johanson Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 They are posting on some of the Tech forums that Facebook is having software problems. I tried logging in earlier and couldn't even open my Facebook account,. I just tried again and still could not open Facebook. Apparently not everyone is affected. Maybe it is my browser. Who knows?

bournemouth Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 There seems to be sporadic world wide outages of Gmail, Facebook and others like Instagram. My Gmail has been down for a couple of hours now. Having said that, my gmail has just come back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComputerGuy Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 My kids are masters at this, but they hook up to the Internet WiFi wherever they happen to be: hotels, restaurants, etc. This obviates the need for a cell connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 Facebook and another popular social media were down yesterday, from about 3PM and through the night. Since I don't use them, I did not notice, but the 'panic' made national news this morning. 🤐 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibarra Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 It made National news yesterday.
