No service Chicago Chicago land area

I live in the Chicagoland area and my phone stopped working about 445. It started to go to SOS mode. I dealt with this months ago and had to get a new number for a day so they could figure something out. I cannot make any phone calls right now. I do have Wi-Fi and I’m finally home After not being able to get home very well without having the Internet what can I do because I can’t even call Verizon

Same situation in Omaha area. Got a notification that said sim not activated and when I called the number,it asked me to enter credit card info to make a payment. Shortly after just hanging up, my phone started working again. Very frustrating!

Having the same problem. I only can look at anything with my Wi-Fi on. And I was on hold to chat with a Verizon person and it cut me off because it was after 7. So I'm unable to use my phone unless my Wi-Fi is connected. So frustrating.

Having the same problem suburban Milwaukee. SOS mode. My children’s phones do not work. My husband's (that is an older model phone) don’t have issues.

Hello, BravomomAngie. Help is here as we know how important it is to have working service. We did experience an outage as I see it has been a few days since you posted this. Are you still experiencing issues with your service?
