My Droid is useless the network is down. How can you notify Verizon if your phone does not work. i am din Eau Claire 54701
It must me a local issue, I'm in Eau Claire as well and have no phone service!! Really frustrated!!
Agreed, I'm on campus, and no one else, in multiple dorms, has voice or text service. I am still recieving emails, and able use the web browser etc.
Well I do find some comfort in knowing I'm not the only one!
Verizon/Alltel both down. I can call landline phones on my cell, but I cannot call another cell phone. I pay good money for this service WHY? I am in the Soldiers Grove area.
i wish there was on line chat or something because i can't call Verizon to tell them my phone does not work.
Also down in La Crosse, WI... very annoyed! Mine won't connect to land lines either.
I agree...Verizon's "support" is not good at all, 24 hrs before you can expect a return email. I think when you spend so much money you deserve better service. I've only been with Verizon 3 months and every month something has happened to make me very mad I switched!!!
if you have a land line please call (800) 922-0204 and complain. I only have my cell that does not work.
For those who don't have a land line you can send them an email as well...that's what I did!
It's also very frustrating that their website doesn't even confirm that there is a problem, it's like they are trying to ignore the fact that a lot of people are unhappy and can't use their phones!!! I don't we'll get notification of anything from them!
Network down in Rhinelander too.
I spoke with Verizon. They acknowledged the problem. They don't have an answer other than the "networks is down...a massive outage in Wisconsin. We are working diligently to get it back up but do not know when exactly that will be." That is just special. I use my phone as a key part of my business. It had better be back up by tomorrow early morning!
It's not just Verizon. Sprint is down as well.
Wow This is really annoying!! I have been with Verizon for a long time, but it seems that since I moved to Wisconsin, I have had nothing but problems. My cell phone is the only means of communication that I have. Gee I hope nothing serious happens where I would need to use my phone BECAUSE IT DOESN'T WORK!!!! I wonder how long this is going to last.......
Not just a local outage. I have 5 lines down in the Black Creek area (5 miles north of Appleton) I have been on hold on my land line for 38 min, now and haven't spoken to a person yet. Not even the option to leave a message. I have been an alltel customer for a lot of years and never had an outage like this and no customer support to answer questions .
It's SPRINT AS WELL!!!!!
I live in upper michigan and my cell phones are not working either. I have one for personal and one for work, I am on call 24/7 so I sure hope there are no emergencies cause they are not going to get a hold of me. This is completely ridiculous and I am switching to AT&T when my contract is up.
The pitfalls of wireless service. Land line for mission critical voice service...has battery backup at the local telco to power your handset. Notice when the power is off , your cheap $5 phone will still make calls and the dial pad lights up ?
good call, switch to AT&T, so instead of having a short outage every few years, you drop every other call, LOL
Working again in Appleton.........
Currently down in Houghton, MI as well. Confirmed with two phones
Still down in Antigo, WI. Former Alltel SID 240 as far as I can tell is still down.
The "Network" has been down for hours and hours in the Eau Claire / Menomonie area as well. At first I could dial out - but then it would immediately disconnect; now my phone tells me that there is "no service" available.
I tried calling Verizon around 8:30pm - I waited hold for 25 minutes, then gave up. It's now 11:33pm Wisconsin time.
So - where is the "Network" ????? Trying to reach anyone at Verizon is absolute **bleep**.
Never, ever, had an issue with Alltel - it worked all the time, everytime. The signal was better, the voice quality better, the voice mail system was better.
Now more snow is coming. What a fiasco this will be with car accidents, and other emergencies, with subscribers that cannot use their Verizon service.
Hey - CHAD - time to take the Verizon Network guy down - we want Alltel back !!!!!!!!!!!!!
network back up and officially working in houghton, MI
