Known Global Roaming Outage

We are traveling in London as well and just learned from the international support folks that there is a known global roaming outage. They indicated that VZW is working with their roaming partners to resolve this critical issue such that they are no longer taking individual trouble tickets. Stay tuned...

Same problem in Argentina. No roaming, no access to data for messaging or web access. Am told it is world wide. Been out all day. No indication from customer service of when there will be a fix - - they say they have been working on since the a.m..

This is complete bullshit. For four days I have not had global roaming which I paid for. I could not contact my family over the holidays. I want an answer to the resolution of this problem. I this day and age it should not take this long

So the ONLY was you could contact them was via cell? No wifi no nothing where you are? And global service is not guaranteed. If there's an issue there's an issue.

I am in Ethiopia.I checked with Verizon before I signed up for Global. for the first month here there was not issue with service. As noted this is something which started 4 days ago. I do not agree "if there is an issue, there is an issue". I pay for a service and expect delivery as promised. Verizon seems to make it extemely difficult to contact them when you are having a problem. I expect more as I have been with them for over 20 years.

Well I'm sorry you disagree with that. You are roaming with one country's service in another continent. Just like her service is not guaranteed but you still have to pay for it, even much more the case would be abroad. It's not like verizon, sprint, etc could just send a tech over the to see what's up with the service. Perhaps next time you travel or even now you can purchase a local sim card and use local service. But I think you need to accept how the service works.

And you can have the verizon number call forwarded to the local sim number so that if people from the us call you it would still locally for them. (Just adding that in case you say everyone has your us number)
