Verizon outages are about once a month or so lately it seems, guess they are cutting staff and cutting every corner they can to make their mean wall street stock owners happy. Might see this get worse and worse.

Cspire isn’t down which is weird. They use the same towers don’t they?
CSpire owns their own towers, or leases space for their equipment, everywhere that his their home territory (i.e. where they own spectrum). Otherwise they have roaming agreements with other providers, depending on geography.

Still down for me. Had been unhappy for awhile with rural service seeming to go downhill consistently the last few years. Back to AT&T we go.

Here's an article about it I just ran across:


Verizon Outage Link:

Edit: I hadn't really thought about it but saw in the article you should still be able to use WIFI calling/texting if you just have to make a call or send a text so do that at home, work or in a McDonalds parking lot I guess

not in Mississippi....I don't know who they roam on outside their network.
CSpire has their own towers within their “footprint”, which is primarily the state of Mississippi along with parts of western Tennessee and south Alabama as well as a small part of the Florida panhandle. If you are a CSpire customer and are outside the coverage “footprint” you are roaming on Verizon towers through roaming agreements between CSpire and Verizon. CSpire and Verizon are CDMA carriers, while AT&T and TMobile are GSM carriers-different technologies. Contrary to popular belief, it’s impossible for GSM phones to work on CDMA carriers (towers) and vice versa-at least that’s what I was told years ago when I worked for AT&T as well as CSpire. The outage Verizon experienced today affected a lot of different regions around the U.S.
