Can you hear me now?
Good!
Thanks to Casey Scott… we’ve got service again! Once my bars showed up again, Casey said to turn the phone on and off and it worked – that’s a jack-of-all-trades right there helping out!@caseyscotttv @KSL5TV pic.twitter.com/pAPUnc2SVb

We’re working to get information on what appears to be a pretty widespread Verizon outage across the Intermountain West – I’ve seen reports from people in Colorado, Idaho and here in Utah…
Is your phone working?
KSL Today is on!https://t.co/eklSKYg07t

This Verizon rep and I established that the network is down and then he goes to send me a "text confirmation" and asks me if I received it yet.
Bro. The network is down. I'm not receiving ANYTHING at all, an undertstanding I thought we had already established.
