Reports of cell service outages began at around 12pm ET on Saturday, according to Down Detector.

There were almost 24,000 outage reports catalogued on the site, which tracks interruptions of service for many different companies.

Countless outraged customers said on social media that their phones were stuck on SOS mode.

Verizon has said it is aware of the issue and apologized to those affected.

'Our engineers are engaged and we are working quickly to identify and solve the issue, Please visit our Check Network Status page for updates on service in your area,' a spokesman said.

'We know how much people rely on Verizon and apologize for any inconvenience. We appreciate your patience.'

The most common outage locations are in four Florida cities, including Tampa, Miami, Jacksonville and Orlando.
