Yep, it's been a challenging day for me with T`Mobile..
It's though functioning much better since this morning.

I had no clue my phone was in SOS mode until early evening. I looked when I got up, things appear to be normal. For now.

They say (news) it’s all been restored. But, Verizon is closed lip on the reason of the outage.

Seeing reports about a server in New Jersey? Shouldn't matter. The whole system shouldn't tumble. In the old days of land line there were all sorts of back ups and ways to reroute calls.

Sounds like a data rather than voice issue although they wind up using the same antennas, servers etc.

Likely culprit in massive Verizon outage revealed: report

I got a text from Metro PCS, my carrier saying their services were not affected by the outage, but that Metro's customers might have trouble reaching those with Verizon cell service. When hearing about the massive outage during which 911 wasn't able to be called, I hoped that no one needed emergency service or even needed to order an Uber of Lyft to get to their destinations.
