Is anyone with Verizon having issues with making phone calls or texts with their cell phones, on sos mode only? Guess it started yesterday in some states, but our problems started today.

I read online that there is a problem with Verizon today. Didn't bother with details since I'm not affected.

No problems with my Verizon service.

When my cell phone gets glitchy I do a restart and then it's just fine.

@Poohbear52 - This week had technical issues with HSN app frustration 🫤 so definitely understand what you're going through. I'm sorry can't help but keeping positive results for a speedy resolution.

it's not my problem, it's Verizon's issue. There's a glitch in their system and a lot of people cannot make phone calls, it's in sos mode only. Their engineers are working on the problem now trying to fix it. Until then, many of us cannot make phone calls, only an emergency phone call, but not everyone has that issue. I was just wondering if anyone else had that problem too.

Yes, my daughter's phone had no service this morning and was also on SOS. Call Verizon. They had to reset the phone remotely and she had to remove her SIM card. There were numerous steps so it's not an easy "reboot" fix. The Verizon rep was able to get it fixed, but be patient as it will take a bit of time. Good luck!
