Mine was working no problem. I went to the farm store for animal feed and all the sudden went to SOS. I was able to connect through wifi though. As soon as I got back home (about 3 miles from the store), my cell connection came back.
This have a hard time thinking this is a "cell tower" issue. There are towers all over the place here. My neighbor has no service, but 100 feet away I do? No, there is something else going on. I wish I was more educated on telecom. I know we have got to have telecomfags here ....
This is concerning for a lot of reasons, not least of all that so much communication is now limited to wired internet solutions, which means a huge vulnerability.
How does this happen nationwide? During a crisis, no less?
Shouldn't matter. 4G and 3G technologies are still implemented as fallback.
There are a lot of reports of people standing literally next to each other with different statuses, with the same services and phones. It is spawning quite a few conspiracy theories, especially with the cell tower deal that just happened.
The two people standing next to each other woth different statuses may mean their system went down that tells which device is registered to them or not. Maybe a hack, server outage, or other factors.
It's really weird and seems totally random. People spreading a lot of false information that is easily debunked just by viewing other comments of people who are down (4G vs 5G which already doesn't make sense, e-SIM vs physical SIM which is essentially irrelevant, etc.)
Right now the best theory I've seen is that somehow coinciding with this deal, they deactivated / deauthenticated massive swaths of customers' accounts or numbers on "accident". Which makes no sense, since that should never happen and certainly not on this scale.
As of now, everyone I know personally is still down.
I also think that Verizon's deal should be backpedaled by the FCC, or Verizon should lose every cent they made from the deal because this problem should not happen and it is happening at a time that it ABSOLUTELY should not happen when things like rescue efforts are reliant on cell phone use.
If they released an "update" at this time that screwed all of this up, they specifically chose just about the worst time to do so and they deserve consequences for that.
On Downdetector it shows that all the services had problems at the same time and then magically they all started improving at the same time. Perhaps this was a trial run.
Ok this makes sense. I was fighting my computer for an hour this morning. And I work remotely so I use a MiFi through Verizon and it would connect but could not connect to my VPN so now reading this I know why I had issues.
True but I have this weird feeling of peace that somehow we'll be OK, and we will not be starving, unable to access water or money, and without communications.
It feels like with these extra four years to figure it out and make moves and countermoves, the Hats should have been able to work it around to where...they got this.
Bad people get punished. The market crashes, and the new quantum financial system takes over the same day as the crash, an instantaneous planned transition. Government gets brought to heel before it even knows it was leashed. Suddenly the sun bathes the planet in the gleaming dawn of a new golden era of peace, prosperity, abundance, unity, kindness, compassion, and freedom.
Wait until Election Day, when the Deep State will do everything in its power to change what we all know to be true. This is just a test of their system.
I'm in Southern CA and mine was down from about 6 a.m. and just came back up at about 2:30 p,m, I went to the Verizon store and they weren't letting clients in the store but had all their employees outside passing the word. They said I could go in the store since all I needed to do was pay my bill, but they said they couldn't even sign up new customers, which sounded weird to me. They could take my payment, but they couldn't sign up new clients? I don't know, but my phone is working now after being down for about 8 hours.
It's just on the Heat Map, there were no indications that there was any significant outages west of Kansas. IOW - There was not one single red dot west of Kansas.
No big deal. Just expected to see actually indications of problems from coast to coast, as in Nationwide.
My verizon is fine, no issues
as is mine
Mine is down, didn't notice until the news started coming out.
Glad to see some people with service, though I will be curious to see what cover story and excuses will be brought this time.
Mine is down too.

I have call over WiFi enabled and still can't make any calls.
Of course, Verizon can send you your bill through texts.
Mine is fine too. Using it now.
I have 2 lines on my verizon device. One has service and the other doesn't. I don't understand how that is even possible. (In Minnesota)
mine was down all day. I live in Maricopa County.
Suicide weekend for teenage girls with Verizon?
They might have to (gasp) "interact with the family"!
😂😂😂.
Lol, suicide weekend next week when the mall is shut down cause of the strike
Verizon, AT&T, T Mobile, US Cellular...
U.S. Cellular too?
This is concerning for a lot of reasons, not least of all that so much communication is now limited to wired internet solutions, which means a huge vulnerability.

I'm currently in North Idaho and my Verizon is working fine
I have a family member who has a 5G phone and they have no Verizon service.
My phone is older, not 5G, and I have service.

Oh, they will be being fined by the FCC (Uncle Charlie).

Could this possibly have something to do with it?

Coworker with iPhone 13 is getting SOS. I'm across a narrow hallway, my iPhone 14 Pro has 2 bars.
We work in a relatively remote site in Utah. So it "may" be some servers are not picking up some customers, but I'm here - therefore based.
Perhaps it's targeted?
Yea that'd be interesting. Targeted for what I wonder. Certainly all users of this site would qualify
If your phone shows SOS, you can still make 911 calls.
My Verizon phone has had absolutely no issues today.
Xfinity internet is down for me as well. I think they use Verizon towers in my area.
Xfinity has been down for me today a lot. And the last few days as well.
How is cellular service being out, a “storm”..? Not everything is a conspiracy…
https://downdetector.com/status/verizon/
out where the storm hit and new york
There are more locations being affected than Down Detector is showing.
These are voluntary reports.
Ok this makes sense. I was fighting my computer for an hour this morning. And I work remotely so I use a MiFi through Verizon and it would connect but could not connect to my VPN so now reading this I know why I had issues.
Still out in Missouri. It appears to be regional. Question is: why this region?
Seriously, people, we need to stop with the "OMG, THE STORM IS HERE!!!!" every single time there's a blip in power/cable/ or cell service.
It's just fucking exhausting. And it makes us look like hysterical idiots.
If power goes next, with no cellular communications during a national crisis?
Has nothing to do with "living except digitally", there are some serious ramifications that stretch beyond inconvenience.

A patriot can dream, can't he
I like your dream, friend.
Interesting. Verizon is not working on my Google Pixel 6, but my wife's iPhone 14 is working fine.
Mine is down and my son in another state was down as well.
Mine is ok so far.
IMHO, this is only a test.
Wait until Election Day, when the Deep State will do everything in its power to change what we all know to be true. This is just a test of their system.
My phone is up but the person sitting right next to me is Emergency calls only.

Lice...**ALL LICE!!!!"
Uh no... mr Superman can't come to the phone right now
Down detector said almost everything was down this morning
How can you say NATIONWIDE OUTAGE when nothing west of Kansas shows down per the Heat Map?
People in California have been reporting it too, from the same time.
Down Detector is a voluntary report service, if that's the map you are using.
It's just on the Heat Map, there were no indications that there was any significant outages west of Kansas. IOW - There was not one single red dot west of Kansas.
No big deal. Just expected to see actually indications of problems from coast to coast, as in Nationwide.
forgetaboutit. Maybe I was looking at wrong map.
My Verizon works and has all day
Looks like Harris didnt pay the bil for all those illegals phones they gave them
My sisters and brother’s in law were not working but now they do.
My Verizon is good in Michigan it's about the only thing good in Michigan
I had major trouble last week but nothing today
My phone surfing was very very slow today. Rebooted couple times until I checked downdetector. Better now but not normal
no
