My apologies since this is not OS-related....

Who else on Verizon is dead in the water right now? The cell signal here disappeared about 8:15PM EST. It is affecting all the towns around me, and even a friend in Kentucky.

Just curious...

No issues here in Western, TN

I know where the local towers are located, and so far I am counting at least 11 that are not transmitting. This goes for ALL cellphones also, not just the Blackberries.

There are about 5 or 6 Verizon outlets in this area too.. I can only imagine those who tried to activate new phones after 8:15.....

I predict about 1000 tons of disgruntled customers..

No issues with phone... Funky delayed emails and texts.

Must be nice.. 3 Hours now.. I know of at least 9 local towns..around 15-18 towers now. They all went down at the same time.

[blaisedinsd]

Did you try a battery pull? Do others not have service either?

Call VZW from a landline if that doesn't clear it up.

[superlark]

Tried the battery pull first.. then my gf complained she couldn't use hers..

I logged into Yahoo a few minutes later on my PC and had a few messages asking if I have service. Since then my gf and I have been talking to everyone we can get ahold of(lots of people-except those with VZW phones that are unreachable), and heard the stories of how their VZW phones(all kinds) all died somewhere around 8:15..same as ours. This is how I know of how many towns and towers are now "dead". We even have a friend whose husband is a trucker all the way in Kentucky at the moment. Last we knew an hour ago, she still gets the "all circuits are busy" when she tries to call his cell from a landline.

A call to VZW only yielded an "There's an outage? Oh yea my screen does show one, but no reason why and no ETA on a solution"..figures.

In Chicago here.. I just tried doing an update on my application center and got a message that read.. "Insufficient Wireless Coverage.... Tested it out by sending an email from my cell to my mac and did not get it...

[DJM626]

They are probably testing the "Droid" out and it's so powerful, it shut everything down!!

[superlark]

Lmao .. Either that or they are upgrading tower software..

Or worst case scenario someone hacked them such as in months past..

[paintdrinkingpete]

Everything "looks good" for me. Emails coming in...

I'm in DC.

EDIT: Sorry, missed that this was an old thread.

[hart.jordan]

Out here in So Cal were having no probs. Maybe due to the East coast world series lol?

This is a new thread lol..

[superlark]

Called again.. The lady again could only say that they know there is an outage and they are working on it...no ETR on a fix..

She was surprised to hear that multiple towns and towers went out all at the same time..

It better be up by morning or our day is going to be a headache..These blackberries are our so called lifeline Lmao..

[superlark]

5 Hours- this is ridiculous.. Anyone else?

[kira_smith]

NYC: try a battery pull with the power on. Just worked for me.

[superlark]

I am back on as of 4:55am..same report from many of my friends.

Still no explanation for the outage, although Verizon reps were confused at why such a widespread area all went out an once..again go figure lol.
