Cell Service Disappeared from Home

I have had Verizon ever since we built our house 10 years ago.  2 weeks ago the cell reception became sluggish on all of my family's phones (Iphone 13's - all software updated). Now it is just one bar (at best) and sometimes it says "SOS". Have to go outside to make a call and then it gets 5 bars.

 

My wife got a new SIM card and that did not help. Calls drop (or we do not get them at all) but we get texts.  Hate to switch carriers after 25+ years but we have to have service in our house. We have NEVER had an issue before. We have not done any renovating or purchased other electronics that would interfere.

Same here! NO CELL SERVICE period 😞 NONE.  in late 2022  service went out in my county and then all of a sudden about 2 months ago I had 4g LTE in my house. I got up last Saturday morning and nothing. No service again in my county.  I am getting sick of paying for nothing. Cricket is looking better and better.

This just happened to me yesterday too.  If your area has a lot of potentially interfering things (lots of buildings, living at the bottom of a hill, even a lot of trees) and the network is super busy, the towers can't output as much signal to all the devices connected to it, so those who have kind of meh signal to begin with can be out of luck, especially if you are not on one of the top-tier plans.  In my case, I'm a prepaid customer living on the ground floor of an apartment building in a very large complex in between 2 other apartment complexes, and this property is kind of at the bottom of a hill to boot...and it's final exam season for all 4 major college/university systems  in town.  Usually get 3 bars inside while at home, but yesterday I was rather surprised to have a call drop on me and had to go outside to get it to work.

Oh, no! Dealing with service issues can be overwhelming, especially if you have no service inside your home. Verizon is here to help.

 

When did the issue start? What recent changes have you made? What exactly happens when you try to use the service? Who else is experiencing this problem?

The issue started Wednesday night. I woke up with no service in my home. I changed nothing to my service. When I try to text or call my phone does nothing

Thank you for those additional details. That is a long time to be struggling with service issues. Is this only occuring your device or are others in the home having issues as well? What troubleshooting steps have we tried with you to get you back up and running? Additional troubleshooting steps can be found at the link below to get a head start on troubleshooting your connection issues. https://www.verizon.com/support/devices/#mobile

I have the only Verizon device in the house, I’ve gone through the troubleshooting section on the app already and it hasn’t helped me
