Question Verizon issues in Aruba? (outage??)

0 Upvotes

Anybody with Verizon lines got issues with cell service?? Got 2x Unlimited Plus (w/ TravelPass), 1x Unlimited Ultimate (with built-in international travel abilities) cell doesn’t work on any.

Customer service told me it’s a global outage. Fiber cut caused outage in several countries. Second time we’ve been here and SAME exact outage happened last time two years ago.

Tried switching the carrier from Automatic to AW Digicell. Didn’t work.

Anyone having similar issues? Is it really a global outage? Any tips otherwise?
