‘We are aware of an issue impacting wireless voice and data services,’ Verizon says.
Verizon appears to be facing a major outage that’s caused customers to lose cellular access, preventing them from making phone calls, texting, or receiving internet data.
The problem began around noon EST when user reports of the disruption began surging on Downdetector.com, which tracks outages at major IT providers. User reports have since soared to over 235,373.
Verizon is already working on a fix, although the cause remains unclear. “We are aware of an issue impacting wireless voice and data services for some customers,” the company told PCMag.
