Verizon is currently experiencing a nationwide outage, according to Down Detector.
The company's outage map shows a large part of the country in the red, indicating a network outage. Customers are reporting they are unable to make calls.
In the comment section under the map, customers report they are unable to make calls and are receiving a "circuits are busy" message.
Verizon released this statement in response:
Overnight some wireless customers experienced a dialing error when placing calls from their wireless phone to a long-distance landline number. This issue was resolved at 6:30am ET . We apologize for any inconvenience.
The Reno Police Department tweeted earlier Wednesday morning that the company told them there is not an estimated fix time.
Verizon has advised us this is a nationwide outage and there is no estimated ETA for a fix. Remember, 9-1-1 is still for life-threatening emergencies only, or use https://t.co/mkW3p1kJR1 to report most past-tense crimes. Thank you! (2/2)
