Verizon Resolves Outage That Impacted Over 1.5 Million

Verizon did not say what caused the disruption, but did say it did not see an indication of a cyberattack.

Verizon has resolved an outage that impacted more than 1.5 million wireless customers Wednesday.

The service interruption lasted nearly 10 hours leaving customers seeing “SOS Only” on their phones and unable to make calls or send/receive texts.

Verizon did not say what caused the disruption, but did say it did not see an indication of a cyberattack. The situation is being referred to as “one of the most significant nationwide connectivity interruptions in recent memory.”

Verizon took to social media to apologize. The company said if customers are still experiencing problems with their phones, they should restart their device to reconnect to the network as the issue has been resolved.
