Josh,
No, that downdetector.com page is specifically for gmail.

Unsure about others, but I certainly trust downdetector and others versus checking out Google's very own service status dashboard (https://www.google.com/appsstatus#hl=en&v=status) As an aside, as mentioned this is best reported on the Outage mailing list versus here on NANOG. $DIETY knows these threads can become epic length'd noise. So here is what would have been a better bet versus the good old 'sky is falling' response. Step 1) Gmail/Hotmail/Whatever doesn't work on your phone Step 2) Check it on something OTHER than your phone where your provider may not be reliable Step 3) Does it work on something else? If so problem solved if not go to step 4 Step 4) Find the provider's page (if availble) and see what others are saying. If others state it is up for them, but down for you... It may be an issue on YOUR network, or your providers. Step 5) If it is down for EVERYONE on the planet post it to Outages amongst the other dozen entries Step 6) Live life ;) World does not stop because Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, even the stock markets hiccup. -- =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ J.
