"It's been a rough day for Verizon, as one of the largest network operators in the US faces an ongoing outage that has generated millions of user reports nationwide. If you're impacted by the loss of cellular connectivity, you may even notice an SOS symbol on the top of your phone screen. It's an indicator that means your device can only tap into satellite signals to make calls and send texts. In most cases, that's dialing emergency services like 911, and nothing more."
"To keep track of the outage and know when service has resumed in your local area, you can refer to Downdetector's live tracker. You can also see the latest service updates by address (and, optionally, phone number) through Verizon's official network status page. As of 4:12 p.m. ET today, Verizon shared on X that its "team is on the ground actively working to fix today's service issue that is impacting some customers.""
