I can make outgoing calls no problem, my issue has been in receiving them. Anyone trying to call me gets "this number is not in service."

 

[Rowman25]

Total blackout in Southern California.

 

[penguin-guy]

Blackout in New Jersey for iPhone 13 and under (any phone with removable SIM) but eSIM phones are working fine. Another scheme by Verizon or Apple to force people to upgrade?

 

[Kiley87]

SOS being experienced in AZ

 

[floog]

SOS all morning in CO on an iPhone 16 on Verizon. But my other Verizon phone is fine.

 

[Aleishap]

I can’t use my phone! I can’t call or get calls. I am in AZ

 

[dbam987]

Same here... I got a "no smoking" (minus the cig) sign on my phone. Kind of scary getting the "phone not registered" message... I know I've been paying my cell bill...

What else do you believe in? eSIM phones, including my own are also not working. There is no “scheme” by anyone trying to get you to upgrade. New flash, old devices tend to slow down, and degrade after years of using them.

Central California is out as well. I’m a college student and everyone is having to be connected to the WiFi to use their phones.

San Francisco Bay Area, Northern California, SOS as well. Even with WiFi - fails to make calls. Can only Text, browse internet or post this.

 

[Claud143]

I am in Central California and same issues. I have an eSIM and it's still not working.

 

[madzey]

down in Baton Rouge Louisiana too.

I have an eSIM and it's in SOS mode. I've seen others with eSIMs state they're having issues and I've seen people with physical sims having issues too. This would also be a dumb, ineffective way for them to push upgrades. No one is rushing out to the Verizon or Apple Store right now to upgrade just because their service is out.

 

[Amxela]

I have 0 service in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. My sister down in Downtown Cincinnati does though

 

[Nowsley23]

SOS mode in Pittsburgh. iPhone 15

 

[MBlair1150]

Kaysville UT SOS mode

 

[tyler524]

I have been out of service for hours now in the Detroit area.

Edit: My fiancee has Verizon service but not 5G. We both have Pixel Pro 7s and are sitting next to each other. A restart didn't help, either.

I have not been able to receive/ send calls or text since about 9am this morning. I'm in Central Florida. I have an Android phone with Verizon. My bf has T mobile though and he has no signal either. It's in SOS mode like my phone is with Verizon. Can't make or receive calls/ texts. A relative of mine has Verizon also though and they're sitting next to me and they haven't been effected... this morning though, my phone did an automatic update at about 4am and my relative's phone did not update yet. I wonder if it's a virus. Anybody else do an update before your phone stopped working?

Update: 3pm EST and still no service in central Florida
