Do we have confirmation that Verizon is actually having issues, or are people on Verizon trying to call T-Mobile customers, failing, and are blaming their own carrier, Verizon?
I have a Tmobile MVNO and I can call Verizon users but not vice versa. I can also not call any Tmobile number. My wife has Verizon and can't call me but can call others except for Tmobile #s.
It sounds like the parent knows how to troubleshoot accurately :).
Exact same symptoms here.
Verizon is fine - the stories saying verizon and ATT down are basically totally garbage.
