Verizon Wireless network problems

A Verizon Wireless network outage occurs every now and then, and when it does customers are not too pleased. The service provider has a range of products including fiber broadband, FiOS, 4G LTE as well as the more popular mobile internet, cell phones, voice mail and SMS services and problems can arise with these too.

Dependent on your location Verizon Wireless network problems do happen, and this is where you can discuss them right here. In most cases some customers may not experience the same issue that you are and this is why it is a good idea to share them below. Please make sure you add your location as well as this helps determine where the main issue areas are.

    Really poor network, dropped calls, no internet, so unlike verizon. Plainsboro, NJ

  • Kristin

    I’ve been having issues going on 4wks now. Started with occassionally getting the error msg when making a call. Then began dropping calls. Now all I can do is text. Been on with tech support a few times a week to get the same story, call us in 3 days and we will have it fixed. Meanwhile I’m still bring charged for service on 3 phones that don’t work. Seriously thinking of a new carrier. Been with Verizon 16yrs.

  • Steve

    911 calls aren’t connecting. Took 6 attempts to get connected. Kept telling me that it couldn’t be completed as dialed and check my # & try again. When I finally got thru it dropped the call! I’m done.

    I had service this morning and this afternoon. Now I have nothing. I can not make calls. I’m pretty sure that I can’t receive them either. I can’t send or receive texts. I live alone so it’s nice to know that you can make a phone call in case of emergency. A good friend of mine was in an accident last week and airlifted to a hospital that is an hour and a half drive from here so a phone that functions would be nice to receive any updates on him. I’m also unemployed right now and I guess any potential employers will just say screw me and hire the next guy in line because his/her phone works and they can answer it. And then the kicker is how do you even talk to someone to see how long your service is going to be interrupted? I’m pretty sure nobody is going to tell me on here. East Moline, Illinois 61244

  • Deb Allen

    Veizon messages stuck I sending since the update 3 days ago. If I restart my phone it resends those messages to those people again.. what did you do ??? Fix it

  • Dan Rozenboom

    Switched to unlimited data a few weeks back and now I have no usable phone service. Called Verizon customer service and got nowhere. Reset network and could never get a competent walk through on factory reset. Granted some of the problem was a lack of communication due to bad phone performance. They couldn’t get my phone to backup my contacts. Said my data was fine but that I needed to go to wifi to complete a backup. I asked them why I cannot use the Internet and they reluctantly admitted that they throttled my data to 3g when I was under 2gigs used! Don’t fall for the unlimited data scam!

  • Laurie Fein

    Can’t send texts or make calls. I did the network reset, turned my phone off and on and added the area code. They said it’s a network issue. At least they admitted it. All the reps were very nice and tried to help.

  • coco

    Still long time issues with Verizon internet. Poor quality service for high$.!!!

  • Diane Wilkins

    My internet is down in Danville Virginia come on people

  • Phil. C.

    My community has had issues with our service since the last snow storm. (one month ago) We all are losing calls to low bars/weak signal in zip code 80535. The neighbors have purchased new devices only to receive the same result. Can someone please look into this?

  • Barniferous

    “We’re sorry. Your call did not go through.” Any number I try. Columbus, Ohio, starting at 8:45, continuing at least past 9:00 AM. Must be a Verizon Wireless problem since my landline (AT&T) can call the number.

  • Chuck Rogers

    I’m in very rural Northeastern Washington, but have good service much of the time. I know they have a tower issue, and it’s difficult for them to get techs up on the mountain to work on it, but it’s no excuse. I deserve the same service as anyone, since I pay through the nose for it. I should be able to expect as good as it gets most of the time, especially when I have 3 bars @3G. If I’m 50 feet higher, I have 3 bars 4G, but the internet just doesn’t work for long stretches. They just about should know me by name, as I’ve spent hours on the phone with good techs and bad techs. I’m on the North end of the Spokane Indian Reservation. I’m not a native for whatever that’s worth. Lightning strike, bad service, rain storm, bad service, ice storm, bad service, holiday, bad service. This tower must be falling apart, and needs replacement with new parts, maybe a good ground rod and whatever, but it only gets fixed temporary. When it works, it works good, when it doesn’t it doesn’t!

  • Bob Ryan

    Outage in new Port richey Florida 34652

  • Patrick Starr

    lets just say that the nightmare started when i decided to upgrade to FiOS digital voice. The billing was so screwed up that I could not pay my bill for 2 months, I went to their Fios Experience store, they could not figure it out. Now I don’t have voice mail and the on-line instructions to set it up do not work. To complete the day, my FiOS set-top box is malfuntonng and I have been trying to talk to customer “service” (what a joke) and have waited for hours on-hold only to be cut-off after a certain period. So my advace: try another provider f another one is available, I certainly will. Verizon CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW!!! (pos)

  • CJ

    Verizon down for 4 hours on July 4, 2017.Just came back up. ZIP 13693. Unable to make calls, send text messages, connect to the network, NOTHING!!! Both phones in the house! This is absolutely ridiculous. Tried to call service.. call dropped over and over again. I pay a heck of a lot of $$$ for this. Really Verizon?? So much for for “the most reliable network” . I think you need to look up the definition of RELIABLE!

  • Shane Boller

    Helena, MT
    Slow data speed in 59602, normally I have 4 bars LTE, now i have 1 bar 3G. Issues started after the earthquakes yesterday

  • Jessica

    3 days now, no mobile connection. I can only do anything using wifi. Really annoying! Why am I paying full price for crap service. If I drive 2 minutes, I have 4g. I had service at home until 3 days ago! Fix it!!!! I have 4 children and am at home alone with them all day while hubby works. God forbid one of them get hurt or snake bit and I can’t call for help! Melrose, Florida

  • Opal Long Brand

    Since July 13, 2017 my daughter and her husband has had no data service on their phones. They live just outside of Wilburton, Ok. What could be causing this problem and how can they fix it.

  • Sheila Medley Foshee

    I have been having a problem with my data for a couple weeks now. I am suppose to have LTE but it mainly stays on 1x or 3G. Why am I paying for this service but have 3G or less on data.

    Madison, CT. Been down all day. Zero signal. This never happens!

  • Glenn Chapman

    Kempner,Tx
    Over a week now and still only one to two bars, same when I go to work over an hour away.

  • MarcySmith

    Having problems in Florida as well. Can’t get anything more than 1x or 3G while inside a building. The service goes in and out completely as well. I’ve always paid the higher prices and stuck with Verizon for over 10 years now for the reliable network and better customer service. All the reasons I’ve stayed with them over the years are slowly fading away. It’s too expensive when the other companies are more comparable now. Feels like we have regressed back to the old flip phone days and driving around looking for a signal. Ridiculous.

  • Dennis

    Both of our iPhones are having issues connecting to internet. Wifi signal is 100%. Since yesterday no connection to Facebook. Instagram local news, could it be that our phone contracts expire in 5 days? Planned obsolescence or just bad service.

  • Dezri Dean

    For the last month the signal strength has decreased causing constant “searching for service” issues!
    Hoodsport, WA

  • Patty Oderio Vosk

    No service in Englewood Florida!

    Having issues since 3:00PM in Sarasota. Takes a very long time to dial. Calls are being dropped. When calling or receiving calls, other line can’t hear, and have to redial. I am only getting 0-1 bars, with no internet. But hey, it shows I got LTE..

  • Elisa2112

    same here in North Port. no bars on either mobile phone.

  • Bodya Shvets

    My phone and IPad, my brothers phone and iPad and my girlfriends phone is on Verizon. All of them say NO SERVICE. Been like this for hours. We were supposed to receive a very important business phone call and now we can’t.

  • Brandi Latham

    Cottage Grove, OR unable to make or receive calls & no internet access can only send & receive texts.

  • Chuck Rogers

    Here we are again. Verizon needs to fire the private contractor techs, and get some that care about service, instead of seeing how long they can make a job last. They just don’t get it right, or at best fix things for a few days. There used to be long stretches where service was good. There’s also the problem of Verizon over selling it’s product, without upgrading their network to handle all of the extra traffic they created with their ‘unlimited’ plan. There will be a class action suit over this eventually, but sadly it won’t cost Verizon much, and just like the other crooks, they look at it as the price of doing business.

  • Jenny

    I have a $800.00 dollar Galaxy phone from Verizon and I’m paying $140.00 a month. No power outage and no network service before hurricane Irma even was near. Shockingly sicking. My Sister has a LG AT&T from Target $40.00 a month, that worked perfectly through the hurricane. It was the only thing that kept us up to date on the conditions. Verizon is evil!

  • Michelle Shoup Osier

    husband cannot connect to internet using celluar data or home wifi anyone else having this problem

  • Fukverizon

    Verizon will only respond when it hits them in the wallet. We have had these problems in my area every 2 months for a year. If you file a complaint with the BBB about verizon it will get the attention of the corporate folks. The last time it was out for more than an hour I did just that. I made verizon give me a reimbursement on my next bill. I won’t say how big the bill was but they paid 100% of it.

    You can do this also, by filing a complaint with the BBB and calling verizon and demanding a refund. If you don’t you contribute to verizon’s overall attutide that they can treat you however they wish.

  • Marcia

    No Verizon Wireless service in Coal Mountain, GA. Verizon support denies network problems, but it has been three days of spotty to no service. Ridiculous!

  • Rocky

    When we try to make an outgoing call or fax on our business landlines we keep receiving a message we are not allowed to make calls to various area codes. The message tells us to call 1-800-645-0005 We receive the same message when we call that number. Contacted Verizon via email as the site reads it is much faster to have Verizon return our call rather than called Verizon direct. Going on day 2 and no response from Verizon.

I know the store was closed however the employees in the store at 8:30 were standing around and wouldn’t tell us out in the parking lot what was going on until finally young nice-looking girl got one of them to speak through the crack in the door and say the towers are down. A sign in the window would have been helpful. Wish I had a landline. Remember those days?

    This is crazy… I think they are trying to save money by dropping towers.. I have had great signal for years but been going down hill for a while. Now I have either nothing or just enought to start or answer a call then loose it. No LTE anymore.. Data at all is very iffy…
    Ridiculous.. There is a tower nor 4 miles from me.. I have bought 3 new phones. Done all the resets and updates.. No one here has good signal anymore. So I don’t think they lease that tower anymore..

    Thanks

  • Steven Correa

    Call them, and ask if they can get a Triangulation (Vector) vehicle to drive by your location.
    I know that Sprint does that, in your type of situation; and they usually do it within a few days: with exceptional Results!
    Good luck!

  • Bill Smith

    We’re in Western, KY and we chose Verizon because of the strong signal. Over the last year, while you’re talking, the signal will fade in and out and calls are dropped regularly. Can’t even send a text over the last couple of days and my iPhone shows Verizon LTE and 2 bars. It fails and doesn’t notify me of the failure for a 1/2 day.

My phone has W-Fi turned on, but I keep getting the same message no matter what I have switched on and off. I’ve about had it with Verizon, particularly after they scammed my mother into doubling her monthly bill when she called to take off a service after my father died.

It is very disappointing when you are paying high dollar for their high tech devices and you can’t even utilize them!

  • Wesley Casey

  • David

    Same exact problem in central Arkansas just outside Little Rock. No voice service at my home…text only because of my homes wifi.

  • Western New York reception has been awful and dropping calls everywhere. Goes from full LTE to 1x multiple times in areas it never used to.

  • MattChuey David Bricker

    Newark Ohio, in my house where I have lived pretty much all my life and have always had service from verizon now tonight specifically I have 2 bars and 4g LTE but absolutely nothing will load. And my service has been dropping off to 3g and 1x all the time for no reason. Cycle airplane mode and service is back sometimes only for a few seconds.

  • Sonj Galler Gurian

  • Denise

    Not being able to send messages in Ricland WA since early this morning. 8:30 now, and still can’t get a message to send!!

  • Denise

    I used to never have trouble with my Verizon service until about a month ago. It will not come in when I am in certain parts of the building I work in. This never used to be a problem. Someone told me that I needed to connect to the closest tower. How do you do that if there is such a thing?

  • Marilyn Plaster

    I live in southwest Missouri and my Verizon Wireless prepaid service sucks as of about the last 2 months. I used to be able to use my phone anywhere at home. Now I can barely use it in the house and even out in my yard. I was at Walmart recently and there was a Verizon rep there so I started asking about phones and I said oh i’m prepaid. He said why don’t you go contract and i said you can’t beat prepaid with the prices. He said and I quote “You get better coverage”. At the time I didn’t think anything of it but now i’m wondering if there not gonna limit coverage for prepaid in order to force people to go contract. Right now I hate my service.

  • Sharon Mclean

    NE Colorado has I-1 bar for some days now whether in house, yard, or pasture.

  • Phil Levin

    Verizon/AOL mobile email service has been unavailable in San Antonio for the last 4 days as of 08/02/2019 with a “Cannot authenticate” message in setup. Mobile network connection remains strong, PC and Internet mail are unaffected.

  • Navybuckeye

    Verizon service around Hartford, CT keeps deteriorating. More and more I’m faced with no service or service that is one bar or less.

    With five phones on the plan it’s beyond frustrating.

    We all may move to Cricket. Everyone I know with Cricket is happy.

  • Alice Wolfson

    I’m also prepaid and got the suggestion to go contract. I said no. I think Verizon is trying to push people in that direction.

    The rep even told me service is better on contract. That says how much Verizon doesn’t care about their prepaid customers.

  • Alice Wolfson

    I live there and I’ve had constant issues with LTE throwing me offline.

  • blitz

    Verizon is currently down in Chambersburg, PA. No signal, no data.

  • Blah

    No signal, even for phone calls since 6pm last night… called VW and was told “we dont have any idea when it will be fixed, I can call you tomorrow!” If I have no signal, how are you going to call me?

  • TJ

    Misery loves company. I thought a billion dollar company would be able to provide screaming fast internet access twenty four hours a day when you’re paying through the nose for the service. Sealy, Texas

  • Monique Hackett

    My phone stopped working Saturday afternoon. I called VW and went into a store and was told I need a new phone. There is nothing wrong with the phone, it’s the service I have no access to data or phone. Only the wifi works but not for texting or calls just web and apps.

  • Mary Madrid

    Unable to receive calls. When I accept a call we get disconnected or we can’t hear each other. My husband called me about 30 times and could not get through! This is ridiculous, we’ve been having issues with dropped calls and texts not received for the past few days! This is getting old and we are about to change providers!! Something needs to be fixed ASAP or Verizon will be losing a lot of customers!!!

  • Terra

    My husband lost service last night on our way to Carthage, Tn. The closer we got to I-40 at on ramp 254 his service stopped buffering and completely lost service until we got closer to home.

  • Kathy

    Im north on San Diego, CA. and I’m not able to make calls nor am getting phone calls nor can i send texts / whats up?

  • Yi

    In Chula Vista, CA:
    Data service downgraded to 1x for the past 3 weeks! Verizon keeps taking my money. I’ve called to reported the issue and spent considerable amount of time… Less customer service can do is to provide a month credit to all customers. This is complete B.S.

  • Lori

    Delaware, Ohio. :
    When I try and make a call they can’t hear me and when they call me back I can’t hear them. Texts aren’t going through or they fail to send.

  • Tracey

    (Out of Asheville NC and also Upstate NY) I’ve had 1-2 bars LTE for about 3 months now and service is absolutely horrible. Called/Online Support with Verizon about 4 times now and all they could tell me was that my battery was damaged and I should buy a new phone. They’re not doing anything to help other than try to sell me a booster for my home. That’s great but when I’m not at home and my service is nonexistent, they offer no help. Horrible service for such a hefty monthly payment.

  • Hannah

  • orlando gomez

    1-2 bar connection in 33186 zip code. Poor internet/Hotspot. Claiming to be the best connectivity in the country this is definitely not that. Have tried the tech support twice and has not been able to improve the signal. Took out sim card. Reset network settings. Indoors and Outdoors. Help help help

  • Paul Camacho

    Service has sucked for the last two weeks. I’ve been all over Ohio. Cincinnati to Cleveland and service has been terrible. Have updated, turned on and off…no changes. Help Verizon!!! Let’s get it right!

  • Vanessa

    My husband and I are without lte service here in North Vernon Indiana and we really are hoping this gets fixed soon because it effects our cell phones and home phone

  • Gina

    Has your issue been fixed.

  • Steve Wells

    Verizon internet has been slowly been going downhill over the last few years. Ow the last few weeks have been awful. About to cancel service and go with another provider. I’ll just have to break my contract and work through the State Attorney General on that issue.It’s Verizon that is actually breaking the contract by not providing the service they promised.

  • Carl Lee Boston

    My service cut off at 9:30 this morning. I can recieve calls, send texts. But cant recieve texts back and cant call out. My bill is paid up and when I have tried to call out it tries to send me customer service. Like this is beyond frustrating. I live around the Nashville, Tn area. I have a friend in south Florida who is having the same issue.

  • Cheryl Schinze

    I’m in Northern Arizona trying to call northeast kansas. Any problems.

  • Kristy Irby

  • Lou Bighog

    Springfield, IL– People with whom I haven’t spoken in years are getting VERY SPECIFIC text messages from MY PHONE (not me), at 3:00AM!?!?

  • Rebekah Harris

    Our service here hasn’t been worth a crap for the past few weeks. We live in Kettle Island, KY. Service went completely out a few weeks ago for 2 days we had no signal or service at all due to a tower going down. Ever since it came back up the service hasn’t been worth using. We can’t get online or hardly send a text at times and have nothing but 3G. I pay way to much every month for this crap.

  • Thomas McInerney

    Phx here, Verizon has gone down hill. Thinking of switching to at&t. No reason my $170 a month payment gets this crap service

  • MICHAEL VISAGIE

    I have Verizon and can not even use the phone as a hot spot anywhere due to bad signal strength, they blame Apple, my PC etc but can not justify why all my devices connect to other carriers and work just fine, wherever I travel I have not seen more than two bars on my phone, maybe it is time to switch. I have all the problems that Orlando below is describing. This is the worst service I have ever had from a carrier.

  • Arlene Maminski

    Is there a problem with Verizon phones?

  • vcheang

    today is 3/16/2020- since 7:45 am today, I have tried to texted my family a couple of times but it does not go through. something wrong with text messages?

  • Courtney Shannon Harlan

    Service has been bad for the past month south of Dallas, TX. Every morning from 8-10 am it goes down to 1x and then nothing at all. Same thing happens from 545-7pm. This is every single day! Wth?! What’s the point of paying for something that doesn’t work the majority of every day?! Seriously would like some sort of refund, discount or even just an apology email explaining what the heck is going on and the ETA on when it will be resolved?! I switched from being with AT&T for 10 years and gave up an amazingly cheap unlimited plan for Verizon about a year ago since the service was better in the country area that I live now but now I 100% regret it! Is anyone else having similar issues??? Is it corona related? Are we overloading the network?? Please advise Verizon! Please Advise!

  • HotGrits

    Today is 4/14/20. Service is down in Birmingham AL.

  • Shannon Thompson

    June 20, 2020 no internet service in Boise Idaho

  • Alaya

    have been a customer since 1996. Am going to leave Verizon. their customer service is a joke. no one answers, phone dont work,…… the company is failing and taking advantage of people.

  • MARK MUIRHEID

    IS VERIZON DOWN??

  • slg

    Cannot connect to cellular data. Have been without internet for over 24 hours now and no one will call me back.

  • RC

    I’m about to do the same. it’s been ridiculous in Delaware!

  • gettnbusy

    VERIZON WIRELESS SITE glitching like crazy for last 30 minutes (not cell use, actual VZW website for purchsing and account stuff). FML

  • Angel Collins

    I haven’t been able to send or receive text messages in days. Two nights ago I spend over 2 hours on live chat with an agent with no fix in site. At 1:30am I finally called it quits, he told me he’d write up a report and a Verizon wireless technician would call me in 5 to 7 days, after he finds a fix after investigating the issue.
    I normally use Google messages, when this issue started I’d send a text only to get it back with an error saying, “Can’t send. Contact phone manufacturer. Error code 31”
    I installed the Verizon messages + texting app, sent a text only to get it back saying “failed”.
    I Uninstalled both texting apps, found a system update, did that, reinstalled both app, restarted my phone again and tried to send a text again getting both errors back.
    My husband who is on my phone plan tries to send me a text, it says sent on his end but never switches to delivered and I have yet to receive any of his texts. Verizon sent me a test text that went through but I can’t get anyone else’s.
    This is a problem as our schools send out important text alerts, I have court for enforcement of child support owed to me and am supposed to receive a text alert with information on when call the day of but I’m getting nothing.
    Over 15 years I’ve been with Verizon and I’ve never experienced something like this before. They focus too much on getting new customers and not keeping the ones they have. If I don’t have this fixed by the end of this week, Verizon wireless will lose a long time once was very happy customer.
