We’re hearing from listeners across the Sandhills that Verizon customers are experiencing service disruptions today — including issues with calls, texts, and data.

If you’re affected, you’re not alone. Verizon is aware of the outage and is actively working to restore service as quickly as possible.

In the meantime:
• Try using Wi-Fi for calls and messages
• Restarting your phone may help once service begins to return
• Avoid making unnecessary network changes until the system stabilizes

We’ll keep you posted with updates as they become available.
💙 Stay safe, stay connected, and as always — have a nice day from Star 102.5!
