Verizon outage leaves millions without service as iPhones display SOS icons

A major Verizon outage is affecting over 2 million users across the U.S., disrupting cellular calls and data with many customers seeing an SOS icon on their iPhones. Verizon says the issue is very high impact and is working through the night to restore service, promising account credits for affected customers (amount TBA). Users can monitor local status on Verizon’s network status page. The SOS indicator is tied to loss of connectivity, not an emergency call, and concerns about billing are unlikely for this outage.

iPhone's SOS Feature Saves Injured Hiker in Angeles National Forest

An injured hiker in the Angeles National Forest was rescued by first responders after using her Apple iPhone 14’s SOS satellite feature. The feature allows users to connect to emergency services through text messaging and when there is no cellular or wireless signal. The technology kicks in automatically when a person tries to text or call 911. The satellite SOS feature is free for two years, though Apple has not announced how much the service will cost after that.
