Verizon announced that it has successfully restored its network, resolving the issue that caused mobile phone service disruptions for customers across the United States. The outage, which commenced shortly after 9 a.m. E.T. on Monday, persisted into the evening, impacting users who found themselves unable to utilize their phones for regular calls, with some only being able to access SOS mode for emergency calls.
Users experiencing ongoing connectivity issues with Verizon's network were advised by the company to reboot their mobile devices to potentially resolve the problem. Additionally, iPhone users were recommended to attempt reconnecting to their cellular network by toggling on and off "airplane mode" in settings for at least 15 seconds, as suggested by Apple. Verizon expressed regret for the inconvenience caused by the outage, acknowledging the reliance people have on their services and thanking customers for their patience during the restoration process.
