Some Verizon customers were experiencing a service outage on Wednesday afternoon, according to the company.<\/p>\n

Verizon said it was not immediately clear how long the service would be down.<\/p>\n

“We are aware of an issue impacting wireless voice and data services for some customers,” Verizon said in a statement to ABC News. “Our engineers are engaged and are working to identify and solve the issue quickly. We understand how important reliable connectivity is and apologize for the inconvenience.”<\/p>\n

Many Verizon customers said on social media that their phones showed “SOS” in place of network bars.<\/p>\n

According to Downdetector<\/a> at least 175,000 Verizon customers were affected at one point, but that number has since gone down. Downdetector, a site that tracks outages, said Verizon customers began noticing interrupted service around noon Eastern time.<\/p>\n

New York Emergency Management (NYCEM) officials said the outage is affecting some users calling 911.<\/p>\n

“Verizon is working to solve the issue,” NYCEM said in a statement. “If you have an emergency and cannot connect using your Verizon Wireless device, please call using a device from another carrier, a landline, or go to a police precinct or fire station to report the emergency. In the meantime, you can check the website or social media account of your cellphone carrier for updates.”<\/p>\n
