Outage report · Tuesday, November 10, 2026

Quo shut down our entire company's phones. By its own error.

No warning. No notice. No phone number to call. We opened ticket after ticket and called again and again while 90 employees sat without phones. Quo later told us the shutdown was an error in its own system.

"It was an error in our system."

That is what Quo's Director of Fraud & Compliance told our CEO by phone the same afternoon. Our CEO recorded it in an email to Quo at 1:32 p.m. We had done nothing wrong. Quo's own system shut us off, and it took Quo more than three hours to restore our service.

What this means for your business

It can happen without warning

An automated restriction locked our entire account at 10:04 a.m. No email, no call, no notice before or after.

There is no number to call

Quo publishes no support phone number. Its chat bot files an email ticket. With your phones down, that is the only way in.

Tickets wait

Four tickets produced auto-replies and "under review." None of them got us back online.

Restoring service took over 3 hours

From the shutdown at 10:04 a.m. to restored service at 1:18 p.m., our company had no phones while Quo reviewed its own error.
