Verizon outage
My screen is bigger than yours
Looks like reports of Verizon being down are starting to populate on Down Detector. Meanwhile my phone too is stuck in SOS mode rebooting did not help and I can't get through to anyone on any number on my landline. I hope they restore service soon.

My phone seems to be stuck in SOS mode. Also I launched my Net 10 Hotspot which is powered by Verizon and it has no service either. I wonder if it's a problem in my area.Originally Posted by hpham

My two Verizon phones working fine in Florida. Clearly not a nationwide issue.
Just another day in paradise.....

Have you tried to power the phone off and back on to see if it resolves the issue? What make/model phone are you using? Any recent updates on the phone?

I have an iPhone XR on TF / VZW. Still shows that I have no signal. Also my Moxee Hotspot from Net 10 has no signal either. Uses same network.
Rebooted quite a few times.
Why yes, that is a bag phone
Right now I'm helping a neighbor activate a Safelink Tracfone Verizon phone. It's been a few hours and it has bars but no service. Customer service says no errors detected with that phone or SIM card. It may be an activation problem that will resolve eventually. My own Verizon Tracfone is working ok. So probably not a Verizon issue in my area. Western Colorado.

Activation servers are down at Verizon right now.

Right but.... My issue has nothing to do with activation. I have an active line and also an active hotspot. My Tracfone account shows my line active. However when I tried to call my phone from someone else it says my number was not in service. Not sure how this would play out in cell phone service. I expect to be compensated by Tracfone or Verizon in this mater especially since I was able to renew my service this morning. I guess this would explain the issue I had as well not getting the data I paid for. That will have to wait until this mess passes through............

So that is what happened to my phone activation. I tried to transfer a number to a new phone this afternoon around 2:30 and it still stays at "Activation in progress" state even now. The old phone is still working though.
Phone fan
Lol I was wondering what was going on too. I did the same last night, and both phones are left without service. What a unlucky time to do this.

The activation probably needs you to shut the old phone off to complete correctly. You can't have the same phone # active on 2 different handsets. Once the activation is complete, you can use the old phone on WiFi or a completely different phone #.
I've climbed a cellphone tower
My family and I still have service, and we are on Verizon based SIM in west central part of Iowa.

The new phone is working now. Text to 611611 shows the correct balance even though the account still shows "Activation in progress" and the line status is "Inactive".

My TracFone that runs on Verizon is completely out.
Once it's back up I'm porting it to either att prepaid or cricket
Not leaving due to the outage, leaving since TracFone gets worse and worse
