AT&T Denies Vacation Blackout Report

AT&T has reportedly denied rumors of a vacation blackout beginning September 21st. The blackout aligned with rumors of a Verizon vacation blackout and its timing appeared right for the launch of the iPhone 5.

9to5Mac contacted a company spokesperson who denied the report.

"Not true!" we heard. We reached out to AT&T to see what it had to say regarding the above. An AT&T spokesperson told us this morning that there is no company-wide vacation blackout for the end of September.

We also talked to AT&T reps at other stores who implied more people are being put on duty, depending on staffing levels of that particular store, but there is no "blackout."

Of course, Apple wants any details about its new iPhone release kept secret, so it's unclear if the company line on this should be trusted.
