That explains it. Oddly i lost connection but not my wife. Same family plan, same location.

Same here in metro Atlanta. My wife has some service (intermittent texts, has internet, but can't receive incoming calls) but I have SOS mode (with same model iPhone 16 pro).

This is the first time we've had a major outage affect our VZW service, and we've been with them for over 10 years.

I shouldn't be, but I was shocked at how painful it is to lose our connection while out running errands.

Same thing happened to my wife. My phone was fine but she was worried something had happened to hers as it was SOS only. I had her go to the Verizon store which is where they told her about the outage.

That is weird one of you is out and the other isn't. Are you both on ios? I have ios in the Bay Area and am out also.
