On September 30, 2024, Verizon experienced a service disruption that lasted approximately eight hours and affected hundreds of thousands of users across the United States. Despite the company's claims that normal service had been resumed, many people on social media reported that it was still not working for them as of October 1st. Without information from Verizon, users presumed that the issue either stemmed from cell towers or the company's user database systems, the latter of which have recently come under criticism for inadvertently blocking many Apple Watch owners from activating their cellular plans.
