Cellular outage hits the U.S

My phone was acting funny two days ago but I just powered it off and powered it back on, it turned out OK.
My daughter accidentally broke her iPhone and for some reason they had to get into my account and screwed me up:(
If you shut down your phone and reboot it it's usually good to go.
Apparently due to the cellular outage rebooting wouldn’t have solved the problem. Phones would have to be set to do Wi-Fi calling. My phone is always on Wi-Fi except when I’m away from home or if the Wi-Fi is down.
Do you recall when we went ape-chit over not getting a cellular signal? No Wi-Fi then. I remember when I was shutting down my mom’s home after she died. I cancelled her landline because I had a tiny mobile phone. Well, guess what? My phone couldn’t receive those pesky little bars so therefore I had no phone to use. When I returned home I called Sprint to complain and was informed “We are seeing a strong signal to that address.” My response “Well, dammit! I don’t care what you’re seeing because it’s not reaching my phone!”
A few months later I stopped by Radio Shack and was complaining to them. This was 2004 the year 3 hurricanes hit Florida. They informed me the only carrier which continued to work during those hurricanes was Verizon. My problem was BEFORE the hurricanes. When my contract was up in 2005 I went with Verizon and I’m still with them.
We use Verizon and have had no big problems with them.
A couple years ago I got rid of my landline phones, that might be a flaw in my home defense but so far all of the cellies are pretty solid.
