If your phone is on SOS (and you can see this), yes, Verizon is having a major outage across the U.S.
Many Verizon customers encountered a widespread outage on Wednesday, disrupting calling and other cellular services across the U.S.
The carrier acknowledged that there was an “issue impacting wireless voice and data services.” Verizon didn’t specify what was causing the disruptions, but said in an update shared on social media that it had deployed its engineering teams.
“We understand the impact this has on your day and remain committed to resolving this as quickly as possible,” the New York-based company wrote.
