Gosh, I can predict the future (by minutes). Verizon has issued a statement. It will automatically issue 3 months of mobile service credits for each consumer and business line in the affected areas (Bay and Gulf counties). I predict similar statements from the other major carriers shortly :-) https://www.verizon.com/about/news/statement-issued-ronan-dunne-hurricane-mi... Oct 16, 2018 5:10pm Statement issued by Ronan Dunne, on Hurricane Michael network recovery Verizon is 100 percent focused on repairing our network in the Florida Panhandle. We are making progress every hour, and we expect that trend to continue at a rapid pace. We won’t rest until service is completely restored.
