Massive Verizon outage — live updates and what to do with iPhone in SOS
Massive Verizon outage — live updates and what to do with iPhone in SOS
Customers are unable to make phone calls
Outside of Cincinnati and noticed I had no service around 11am. Started checking around ant it seems it's pretty widespread.
Verizon should prorate the bills of all people who have lost coverage during their screw-up. I just paid my bill today and this pisses me off.
Ah yes, a prorated $3 credit at best. Based on a $90 service bill divided by 30 days.
Most likely they'll instead give you a coupon for something in a Verizon-owned app you don't use, if anything.
"Can you hear me now?"
No. No you cannot.
It has been out here in Kansas for close to 3 hours.
I have weirdly had zero issues on Verizon today. Android (samsung) also Ohio.
Of the 6 people I've talked to today with Verizon service in my area, 1 person has the SOS/No bars on their phone. The last couple of outages, that was me so I know how they feel
It's not just Ohio. I'm on the west coast and the outage is happening here too.
Seems like only iPhones are impacted? Totally fine in my area on Android and all of my neighbors have SOS.
No issues reported by my circle of Apple folks on Verizon, could be in cascading waves or spotting effects on some users but not others
Welp, guess that explains why mine has been in SOS basically all day so far.
Ya, I went for a walk and had my phone/ear buds in and as soon as I got away from the house it stopped working. Tried toggling airplane mode, and rebooting, no luck. When I got back I had a msg from my wife asking if I'd changed our verizon service.
Changed the service? No
Changing things in life? Yes. On a side note honey, you are off the service plan. Also we are getting a divorce.
Weird part is that mine is SOS at home, but my wife’s phone seems fine at work ~20 miles from here. Not sure if it’s because the cell tower(s) there are unaffected or if it is because our phones are different models.
I've been without service since around noon, I guess this explains why. Hopefully they get it fixed soon.
they suck so bad around here the last couple years, it'd be hard to tell if it's a 'widespread' outage or just the local 'norm'. (ours is working right now, but an hour east of here it's not).
Outage affecting southern california. Haven't had service since 8:00am Pacific.
Verizon in the Chicago area here. Been on SOS all day since 9 something this morning. Tried the network reset and it did nothing.
My wife’s phone on our plan has a bar. We both have iPhone 15 Pros. It’s been about 7 hours now without service. Hopefully it’s fixed by tonight.
I’m in the same area and have the same phone. It just came back online about 15 mins ago.
Nice! Here’s hoping I am soon, as well! Still showing SOS for me at 4:30pm.
Edit: got service back around 5pm
