Verizon customers are discovering their iPhones aren’t properly working on the network, in an outage that seems to have affected hundreds of thousands of customers.
Mobile phone networks can have the occasional downtime or outage, and they are usually limited to specific areas, a selection of customers, or a short period of time. For Verizon on Monday, it seems that the outage is quite serious.
Users have taken to social media to complain that they can’t connect to the network. The comments generally ask if the network is down for anyone else, with devices seemingly deregistering from the network.
Reports to Downdetector have also spiked considerably. Following two hours of reports, the count spiked considerably to over 100,000 reports.
So far, Verizon hasn’t publicly acknowledged the network issue. Given the number of complaints, it is likely to be aware and working on fixing the problem.
AppleInsider will continue to check the service status as the outage continues.
