If you woke up to see your iPhone on the "Dan" network this morning, you're not alone -- a glitch on AT&T's network in Pennsylvania appears to be affecting certain models, but the company says it's nothing to worry about.
PennLive.com is reporting that iPhone users in the state of Pennsylvania are seeing their AT&T handsets taken over by a new network named simply "Dan."
AT&T users began complaining that their iPhones were showing "Dan" instead of "AT&T" on certain models beginning Tuesday night, with posts on Twitter and Facebook as well as both Apple and AT&T support forums confirming the issue is fairly widespread across the state of Pennsylvania.
The report notes that only users in the 717 area code are affected by the issue, which MacLife.com was able to independently confirm with at least one user in the area. The problem appears to be limited to iPhone 3G, 3GS and 4 models at this time.
"Some people have had success by resetting the original network settings, but others have had to replace SIM cards or have AT&T 'ping' the phones when they are turned off," the report advised.
AT&T and Apple are well aware of the problem and the carrier is working on a fix. While the company hasn't issued a formal statement on the glitch, Apple forum posters claim they've been told "it will be resolved soon, and not to worry about it."
