Verizon, which had enjoyed a stable period recently, is now facing network issues, with many users reporting 'SOS' instead of network bars. If you're experiencing this, you're not alone.
A surge of complaints has emerged on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Threads, with Down Detector recording over 46,000 reports of outages.

As of 12:16 PM ET, the outage reports on Down Detector have exceeded 46,000, and several colleagues using Verizon have confirmed seeing 'SOS' on their iPhones.
