Outside of Cincinnati and noticed I had no service around 11am. Started checking around ant it seems it’s pretty widespread.

    Verizon should prorate the bills of all people who have lost coverage during their screw-up. I just paid my bill today and this pisses me off.

      Ah yes, a prorated $3 credit at best. Based on a $90 service bill divided by 30 days.

      Most likely they’ll instead give you a coupon for something in a Verizon-owned app you don’t use, if anything.

        Of course. And if it’s the other way around and a normal person misses a bill by a few days, they’re charged late fees.

          Haven’t used Verizon personally, but back in the day Sprint gave a 10 day grace period before charging late fees, even if the documentation said differently at times.

      Of the 6 people I’ve talked to today with Verizon service in my area, 1 person has the SOS/No bars on their phone. The last couple of outages, that was me so I know how they feel

        No issues reported by my circle of Apple folks on Verizon, could be in cascading waves or spotting effects on some users but not others

      Ya, I went for a walk and had my phone/ear buds in and as soon as I got away from the house it stopped working. Tried toggling airplane mode, and rebooting, no luck. When I got back I had a msg from my wife asking if I’d changed our verizon service.

        Changed the service? No

        Changing things in life? Yes. On a side note honey, you are off the service plan. Also we are getting a divorce.

        Weird part is that mine is SOS at home, but my wife’s phone seems fine at work ~20 miles from here. Not sure if it’s because the cell tower(s) there are unaffected or if it is because our phones are different models.

    I’ve been without service since around noon, I guess this explains why. Hopefully they get it fixed soon.

    they suck so bad around here the last couple years, it’d be hard to tell if it’s a ‘widespread’ outage or just the local ‘norm’. (ours is working right now, but an hour east of here it’s not).

    Verizon in the Chicago area here. Been on SOS all day since 9 something this morning. Tried the network reset and it did nothing.

    My wife’s phone on our plan has a bar. We both have iPhone 15 Pros. It’s been about 7 hours now without service. Hopefully it’s fixed by tonight.
