The Reno Police Department tweeted that the company told them there is not an estimated fix time.
The Sun Prairie Police Department in Wisconsin says all of its departments are unable to receive incoming calls from Verizon cellphones due to the outage.
"This is a nationwide issue that Verizon is aware of and working on. As of the time of this message, we do not have an ETA on the repair of this issue," the department said.
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)
