WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The Federal Communications Commission said on Monday that it was investigating a Verizon network outage across the United States after thousands of users reported outages. Chicago and Indianapolis were among the hardest-hit cities and some iPhone users were stuck in "SOS" mode. According to tracking website Downdetector.com, the outage began at around 9:30 a.m. ET and there were 66,761 reports as of 12:28 p.m. ET, with regions including Minneapolis, Phoenix, Omaha and Denver among the most reported areas being affected.

Can confirm
My phone works but the people on my plan same household are stuck in SOS mode
I have an older model they have IPhone 15
People report similar stories o Facebook and X
Why is this a government issue unless terror/criminally related?
Just the libturds testing preparations for the next false flag catastrophe...
VZ only giving me SOS service for last few hours
The cell grid is actually very fragile. Ingenious and hi-tech, but fragile. Would/will be very easy to interfere with or break by several means. FCC would be involved for a number of potential reasons, including signal interference by unauthorized transmitters. I am not sure what role they would play in the event it was system hackers, but certainly that would be criminal.
central OH. No phone since 9:30. For a while my wifes worked but now everyone on my plan is out of service
I am in Las Vegas and my Verizon 5G internet hasn’t worked since Thursday.
Reuters needs an education...
“Women and minorities hardest hit”
Mine works fine in TX
Thousands??? More like tens of millions..
Verizon must have forgotten to send the protection checks this month.
I just did an Ookla speed test with my VZ phone and got 148 Mbps download out in the Alabama boonies (after turning off my wi-fi so I’d be testing the cell connection).

There is a massive nationwide Verizon Wireless outage.
It seems random and not related to your location or even plan.
For example, I don’t have coverage, but both my son and wife do.
It looks related to the ESIM in some way.
I went to a local store, and they said they have no idea how to fix or even what is causing it.
