Verizon was hit by a major network outage on Saturday that left thousands of Americans suddenly offline. From Los Angeles to Chicago to New York, frustrated users found themselves cut off from calls, texts, and data during the hours-long disruption.
For many, the blackout was more than an inconvenience. Phones were stuck in SOS mode, restricting connections to emergency services only and sparking alarm among customers who depend on Verizon for both work and daily life.
