Is your iPhone running on Verizon's network stuck in SOS mode? The government wants to do something about it.

Monday saw scores of U.S. Verizon customers report a complete inability to connect to Verizon's cellular network. As a result, the FCC is investigating the huge outage, per Reuters. The federal agency is "working to determine the cause and extent of these service disruptions."

Since the outage is ongoing, and the investigation only just started, it's hard to say what will come of it, if anything. But at least someone is looking into it.

Reports of service problems started rolling into Verizon's Downdetector page on Monday morning and, at the time of writing, the problem still hasn't been totally resolved. I have an iPhone 16 running on Verizon's network and have been unable to access a cellular network for about five hours. There is, unfortunately, no solid word on when the problem will be fixed yet.
