"Evansville, Indiana, hit by Verizon outage"

Verizon customers in the Evansville area are experiencing difficulty making or receiving calls due to a widespread outage caused by cut fiber lines. The company is working with their third-party fiber provider to fix the issue and restore service, but no estimated restoration time has been provided. Text messaging and internet browsing capabilities are unaffected, and users connected to Wi-Fi can still make and receive calls. Emergency calls to 911 will still go through as long as any signal from any carrier is available.
