Verizon Is Having Network Issues Monday, Leaving Some Stuck in SOS Mode

From CNET: If you've had trouble using Verizon's network on Monday morning, you're not the only one. The carrier has confirmed to CNET that it has been working to fix some problems.

"We are aware of an issue impacting service for some customers," a Verizon spokesperson said in a statement. "Our engineers are engaged, and we are working quickly to identify and solve the issue."

Exactly what the issues are, how many people they're affecting or when they might be resolved was not immediately known. It is also unclear if the problems were related to Hurricane Helene, which hit the US over the weekend.

The issues have led to some Verizon users taking to X to post how their phone has been stuck in "SOS mode," an emergency setting that allows for contacting and connecting with first responders but not regular friends, family or contacts.
