Around 10 a.m. Monday, Verizon users began reporting outages on social media and to Down Detector that they have no service except SOS mode. Verizon acknowledged the “issue impacting service” at 11:48 a.m.

The issue has been ongoing since its peak this morning when it had more than 100,000 queries — Tom’s Guide reports the number is down to the 40,000 range.

At 5:04 p.m., Verizon updated customers on X and said it was a “network issue” that has “started to be restored.”

“We continue to work around the clock to fully resolve this issue,” they added.
