Some Verizon customers are currently experiencing an interruption regarding voice and data services. The outage began late Wednesday morning and is pushing into the mid afternoon.

Here is the latest from Verizon as of noon January 14th..

“We are aware of an issue impacting wireless voice and data services for some customers. Our engineers are engaged and are working to identify and solve the issue quickly. We understand how important reliable connectivity is and apologize for the inconvenience.”

Many Verizon customers are only seeing “SOS” are their reception meter.

While outages are nothing new with any carrier, the biggest question most users want to know is “how long?”, and that is always an unanswered mystery, with many companies refusing to commit to a restoration timeline.

Last fall, Verizon experienced an outage that last about 4 hours during a weekend. The year before, they had an outage that lasted much of a summer workday.

Here is the Midwest, customers of Cellcom experienced an outage that last almost two weeks.

Are you a Verizon customer? What are you experiencing out there? Let me know in the comments.
