Maintenance & Outages

Maintenance of Tbaytel systems and networks is necessary to ensure Tbaytel delivers quality service to you, our valued customers. We apologize for the inconvenience as we continue to make significant improvements to our network to ensure we are meeting your expectations. We thank you for your patience and understanding, and continued support.

Troubleshooting Tip: If you are experiencing a Mobility outage you can still access emergency services by enabling WiFi calling on your mobile phone provided you can connect to an Internet connection. For step-by-step instructions, visit the Support section under VoWiFi. Additionally, a landline operates separately from the Mobility network and would provide a connection to emergency services if necessary.

If you are experiencing a loss of Internet, TV or phone service outside of a maintenance window; power off the affected Tbaytel equipment, then power it back on after 30 seconds. For step-by-step instructions, visit the Support section and select the affected product.

Scam Alert - Ongoing

We are aware of several scams that continue to target our customers by phone and email. Fraudulent emails are being sent, either requesting payment for a non-existent account or claiming you must “update” your email inbox to avoid termination. Some homeowners are also being targeted by phone and asked to download an app.

Please be advised:

  • Tbaytel will never call to ask you to download any apps before an installation or service appointment.
  • Tbaytel will never ask you for payments on non-existent accounts or require you to “update” your inbox.
  • To confirm your bill, use the official myTbaytel App, to verify your account number and total amount owed.

If you receive a suspicious email, do not click any links or provide personal details.
