<\/p>\n

Verizon customers had a rude wake-up call the morning of Monday, September 30. According to DownDetector<\/a>, more than 100,000 Verizon users had reported an outage in their area by 11:30 a.m. Social media users vented their frustrations about seeing the dreaded \u201cSOS\u201d signal across New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and more. So, what caused the huge Verizon outage?<\/p>\n

Verizon Experiences Widespread Outage<\/h2>\n

Verizon customers across the U.S. reported network issues on DownDetector past 12 p.m.. One person in California wrote, \u201cDown in San Jose. Can\u2019t even log into my Verizon Wireless account. \u2018Cannot authenticate your account\u2026.\u2019 BTW, restarting your phone or resetting your SIM card won\u2019t fix Verizon\u2019s backend issue.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another user in New York City wrote on the site, \u201cSOS in Manhattan, NY!!! FIX IT! we have business to handle, its been hours!!\u201d<\/p>\n

A separate Verizon user in Central Ohio wrote that \u201call personal phones appear to be in SOS only in the house, and when looking with coworkers. All business Verizon phones are working as normal with no issues.\u201d<\/p>\n

We are aware of an issue impacting service for some customers. Our engineers are engaged and we are working quickly to identify and solve the issue.<\/p>\n

What Caused the Verizon Network Outage?<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s still unclear what caused the sudden Verizon outage. According to the company\u2019s X account, a spokesperson for the company issued a statement, noting that they were \u201caware\u201d of the service interruption.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are aware of an issue impacting service for some customers,\u201d a tweet<\/a> from Verizon read. \u201cOur engineers are engaged and we are working quickly to identify and solve the issue.\u201d<\/p>\n

What Does SOS Mean?<\/h2>\n

When a Verizon customer sees the \u201cSOS\u201d signal on their phone, it usually means there is an issue connecting to a wireless network. However, each device should still be able to make 911 calls if the user connects to another carrier.<\/p>\n

Is Verizon Working Again?<\/h2>\n

At the time of publication, thousands of Verizon customers are still reporting outages. From New York to California, almost every state in the United States is experiencing a widespread Verizon wireless network outage.<\/p>\n
