Verizon Outage Map: Which States Are Affected by Phone SOS Issue?

Watch our live blog coverage of the Verizon outage for more up-to-date details on the major mobile network problem.

Verizon users are in the middle of a major disruption as a massive nationwide outage has left millions of people disconnected. Whether you’re working remotely, attending virtual classes, or just trying to get through Monday with a functioning phone, Verizon’s widespread network outage has thrown a spanner in the works for many.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has already indicated that it plans to investigate the outage, with the goal of getting to the bottom of the problem.
