iPhone SOS: Verizon Experiences Major Outage Across the U.S. [Update: Fixed]
Monday September 30, 2024. 06:03 PM , from MacRumors
As a result of the network being down, many affected iPhone users are seeing 'SOS' displayed in their device's status bar. In a support document, Apple says that an iPhone displays 'SOS' when the device is not connected to a network, but it should still be possible to make emergency calls in the U.S., Australia, and Canada. In a statement, Verizon said it is 'aware of an issue impacting service for some customers' and working to identify and implement a fix. With any iPhone 14 model or newer, you can use Apple's helpful Emergency SOS via satellite feature to text emergency services when you are in a supported area in the U.S. that lacks cellular and Wi-Fi coverage. Update 5:00 p.m Eastern Time: Verizon has started restoring service for customers, though it could take some time for the carrier to resolve the issue for all users. Update 7:18 p.m. Eastern Time: Verizon says the outage has been fully addressed, and all VZW customers should now have service.Tag: VerizonThis article, "iPhone SOS: Verizon Experiences Major Outage Across the U.S. [Update: Fixed]" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
