No Service / SOS ONLY

[pearly0207]

I am suddenly getting no reception at home and I can't make or receive calls. Phone says SOS only or switches to 1 bar but still won't allow me to make/receive calls. I've never had service issues this bad before. The lucky times I do get a call in, service gets cut off. 

I was chatting with Verizon who told me I had to go in-store and get a new sim. When I went to the store, they took my sim and said the e-sim should work fine. I came back home and it still didn't work. They finally gave me a new sim and still NO LUCK. They told me the store could not help and that I should call technical support with another phone (as if I have another phone just laying around). They also said they couldn't give me credit since there are places the phone works. REALLY? Why am I paying for service I am not getting? 

I need help to get this issue fixed.

My iPhone 13pro was doing this as well on and off every day. I’d just randomly go into sos mode all throughout the day. Took my phone into Verizon and they tried to give it an e sim but wasn’t successful so I had to take it to the Apple Store. Apple ended up finding a reason to charge me 99 bucks and gave me a “new” iPhone 13pro. I used Apple care but was out of warranty for me charge port. Never got an answer as to what it was.

I know that I would be frustrated if I started having service issues at home, pearly0207. This is where I use my device the most, like many others. It is important to note that due to the nature of the wireless signal, we cannot guarantee coverage indoors, even when service was working indoors previously. This doesn't mean we are without solutions though. Please be on the lookout for a private note from us so we can dive into this issue.

I'm experiencing the same issue - could you please support me? SOS keeps toggling back on and I lose bars every time.

I am having the same issue on and off. I don’t understand what’s happening. I am literally at home and I’ve never had this issue. It’s very frustrating being a Verizon customer for over a decade and having service issues like this. I pay too much for this to be happening. I would also appreciate some assistance on this matter.

[vzw_customer_support]

I depend on my service on a daily basis, so I know how important it is to have your service working, we'll be glad to help out. When did this issue start? Is only your device affected?

Why don’t you tell us how to fix it rather than having everyone send you a message

I  am having the same issue.  It's intermittent and frustrating!  I don't have a land line so this is my lifeline.  Please help!  I have an iphone 13 mini.

I'm in Bellingham, WA.  It's been happening intermittently for the past couple of weeks.  It happens indoors and out.  Doesn't seem to matter.  I know there's coverage as my husband has plenty of bars.
