Verizon, a prominent telecom carrier in the United States, has encountered a significant nationwide network outage. As indicated by the outage - tracking website Downdetector, hundreds of thousands of users have reported experiencing network irregularities, and there has been a flurry of complaints on social media platforms.
Consequently, iPhone users and those with other terminal devices are generally finding it impossible to make calls or send text messages. Moreover, the 5G and 4G mobile data services have also been severely disrupted. Since devices are unable to establish a connection with Verizon's communication network, the status bars on iPhone users' devices are displaying the "SOS" indicator, a sign that typically means the device is in an emergency - only communication mode.
