Verizon is down.

My daughters and friends were landing at Newark coming from London, fortunately H’s work phone isn’t Verizon, and the friends have AT&T, so H was able to pick them up at the airport easily. Crisis averted (we have Verizon).

8pm ET and it’s a different story… still nothing. I had something important to do that’s now been pushed back in the hopes of recovery tonight…

I'm reading the outage is primarily in the south and east.
I'm in the midwest and all is normal.

It definitely hit the northeast, too. I'm in the most northeastern state and our Verizon work phones went down.

“SOS only” = Sleeping On Sofas only

ABC News: service restored. If you still see SOS Only, try restarting.

I'm on T-Mobile network and actually got a text from them late last night about the outage, just them telling me their service was fine but Verizon could be impacted trying to reach someone. My husband has Verizon but didn't notice anything (we're also in the midwest).

Perhaps it must have been a WiFi based text. WiFi texting still worked during the Verizon outage.

Supposedly they are going to issue $20 credits to those affected. Not sure if that is per line or account. One story stated something will eventually be available on their app.

I'm on T-mobile's network (I have an old Sprint plan) and got a text from T-mobile about the outage. My husband is the one that has Verizon

This is the text I got
