Verizon Wireless is experiencing a widespread service outage affecting users nationwide. In Johnston County, residents have been warned that the disruption may impact access to emergency services.
The Facebook post advised residents that until Verizon resolves the outage, they may need to use landlines, try another carrier, or move to an area with service to place emergency calls. Texting 911 remains an option, though less preferable than a voice call.
Authorities noted that no timeline for service restoration has been provided and emphasized that the issue lies with Verizon, not the 911 system itself.
