verizon wireless outage in somerville ?

[i-leonardo.livejournal.com]

i've got cell service from verizon wireless. sometime between bedtime last tuesday and coffee o'clock on wednesday, all voice service mysteriously stopped. but only in somerville ! and, weirdly, only for some phones. srsly - the dude in the store said only some models were affected and they had no list of which those were. when i've asked about a fix, i've been told both "real soon" and "by 9pm on saturday...oh, wait that was 20 minutes ago...uh, i really don't know".

calling in is getting pretty dull - does anyone have a link to a service status website ? if i spend anymore time fruitlessly groping their website my brain will melt.

thanks !

Both my girlfriend and I have Verizon wireless service and live in the area but we hadn't even heard there was an outage until now.

My husband says, "My wife and I and one of our housemates have been having severe problems with our phones (different manufacturers & models) in the local area around our apartment, since at least Thursday night. I finally called Verizon this morning, and after noodling around for a while managed to get to a real tech, who messed around for a bit and finally gave up and filed a trouble ticket. Everyone I talked to said there were no local service alerts in their system. It's hard to imagine I was the first to actually get through and get a ticket filed, though..."

some smart phones are affected - my lg ally doesn't work within about a half-mile of magoun square.

There is a Verizon outage in a very specific portion of Somerville near the Medford line. My service has been gone since last Wednesday. Originally I was told it would be fixed by Saturday, but today I got an email response now saying that they didn't know when it would be fixed, but they were working on it. They did give me a $20 credit for my inconvenience, so you might at least try getting that, even though it doesn't make up for no phone service at home.

thanks for posting ! i called 311 and asked city hall if they could get any more information out of verizon than i was getting and about 3 hours later my service came back on. prolly coincidence, but it made me feel better. and my phone works. they said they'd pro-rate me for each day i was out, which was almost 6 @ ~3.26/day ~= $20.

My Verizon has been very spotty about sending text messages lately, and I'm not convinced I'm getting voicemail.
