Several hours after an “issue” began impacting Verizon service in Chicago and several other U.S. cities Wednesday, the company issued an apology and promised account credits for those impacted.
Reports of service problems from Verizon customers began around 11 a.m. and quickly grew, with over 180,000 reports across the U.S. by 11:40 a.m., according to DownDetector.
Customers in several U.S. cities reported issues making calls and sending texts, including in Chicago, according to DownDetector. Several said their phones were stuck in “SOS mode.”
Verizon acknowledged the issue in a post on social media around noon, later providing updates that their teams were working on solving the “issue” throughout the day.
Around 8 p.m., Verizon said they were “truly sorry” for letting their customers down during the outage in a post on X.
“We will make this right – for any customer affected, we will provide account credits and share updates soon,” Verizon said in the post.
The company also provided an update on their progress addressing the “issue” that caused the troubles with service, saying they are “working non-stop and making progress.”
Though the company did not provide any concrete timeline for fixing the issue, their 8 p.m. update said “teams will continue to work through the night until service is restored for all impacted customers.”
Verizon has not provided any additional information regarding what caused the “issue.”
