Some Verizon customers remain disconnected from their cellular network while the company works to get everyone back online.
Some customers of the nation’s largest wireless provider, Verizon, are beginning to get service back after an issue with the network prevented subscribers from making and taking phone calls, texting, and connecting to the internet. The outage started at approximately 9 am ET (6 am PT) this morning and while DownDetector still says that “user reports indicate problems at Verizon”, CNN is reporting that Verizon engineers are making some headway in getting service restored.
Many iPhone users on the Verizon network had their devices stuck on SOS mode with those three letters appearing on the status bar of affected iPhone models. If you see those letters on your iPhone, it means that the device is not connected to your cellular network but emergency calls can still be made.
