I called my friend right after this was put up that works on Verizon's network team, as I work with them from Qualcomm sometimes. There is no service interruption for Verizon customers. Alltel accounts that were converted or old port in Alltel customer numbers that our Verizon are the one's having issues. Network is up and running. Funny how information get's skewed or blown out of proportion.

I'm glad Phone Arena confirmed before posting the article.

How many reporters wait to "confirm" information before reporting it? The game is all about being the first to report, and there are many other sites reporting the same.

phonearena does not have "reporters" and are never "first to report". if you notice on pretty much all of their article it says they took it from from another site. cut and paste is a great thing...

engadget is reporting it as a midwest issue and not just former Alltel subs according to howardforums

I live in Toledo(northwest), Ohio and i didn't even know service was down. It was fine for me all night (work 3rds), and within my work, it's hard to get a signal (big ol' metallic factory), and i didnt notice anything wrong.

HUGE outages in WI...I'm an hour west of the Twin Cities and call failure rate was about 98%. It's down to 25% now but nearly every converted alltel customer who was a friend of mine was having this problem. I work for an authorized agent of big red and store reps from all over the state were seeing this

Haha, you guys are lame. Service went down in San Francisco and you guys flooded the article. And now look at this. Loosing service in California, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Ohio is okay. You guys are really in love with Verizon if you guys can rationalize this situation.

I haven't been able to complete voice calls or use the internet on my Droid since last night here in San Fran. Text messages are intermittent, but all calls and data transfers fail.

You Ravensfan55, have an Iphone 3GS, and bash on VZW any chance you get. And all of a sudden you have a Droid in SF (which is where I was when the outages was happening for LTE deployment testing for our new Qualcomm chipset) and Both AT&T and Verizon services were working perfectly. I am using a Droid Eris atm on VZW and Iphone 3GS on AT&T.

All networks are vulnerable to service interruptions the big four are the most reliable. This is the first multi-state VZW outage I've seen in a long time. . .Much less embarrassing then the recent T-Mobile service issues.

"The carrier says that service should be fully restored in 6 to 8 hours". if that's true and Verizon did indeed say this, then it should not say that the article is unofficial. you fail again phonearena
