A major outage is disrupting Verizon's wireless network across the United States. Customers from multiple states are reporting a complete loss of phone service, including both voice calls and mobile data.
The company has confirmed it is aware of the problem. A Verizon spokesperson stated there is "an issue impacting wireless voice and data services for some customers."
The cause of the widespread disruption is not yet known. There is also no immediate estimate for when full service will be restored.
The outage is preventing users from making calls, sending texts, or using mobile internet. This has raised concerns about the ability to contact emergency services. Officials advise using a landline or Wi-Fi calling if possible.
Verizon says its engineers are working to resolve the issue. Customers are advised to monitor the company's official support channels for updates.
