How to fix Verizon not working

Verizon is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

1. Toggle Airplane Mode on your Verizon line

   On iPhone, open Settings and turn Airplane Mode on, then off after a few seconds. On Android, open Quick Settings and tap the Airplane Mode tile twice. This forces the phone to reconnect to the Verizon network without a full restart.

2. Restart your Verizon phone and reseat the SIM

   Power the phone off, then on again, because a fresh connection can clear a stuck data session. If the phone uses a physical SIM, power off, remove the tray, check the card, and put it back before you power on; skip that step for eSIM.

3. Reset network settings on your Verizon phone

   On iPhone, go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings. On Android, use Settings > System > Reset options > Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth, or on Samsung phones use Settings > General management > Reset > Reset network settings. This erases saved Wi-Fi passwords and Bluetooth pairings, so reconnect them afterward.

4. Check your Verizon line status and call support

   Sign in to the My Verizon app, open the Account tab, and look for a suspended line or an account alert; a block on the line can stop calls or mobile data even when the network is fine. If the line is clear, dial *611 from a working Verizon phone to reach support, or use the app's contact options and describe the symptom.

While Verizon is down: what to use instead

• Wi-Fi calling Turn it on when the cellular signal drops but a working Wi-Fi network is available; calls and texts then go over that connection.
• Verizon website The account site handles bill payments, plan changes and device help when the app will not load.
• Customer service line Call the main support line if chat stalls or the app keeps signing you out.
• Retail store Visit a company store for SIM swaps, account checks or device help when online tools and the phone line are not getting you anywhere.

Problems at the same time as Verizon

Since 27 October, all 12 of Verizon's spikes in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.

When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.
