Late yesterday, I tried to place a 911 call while driving on the 101 north toward San Francisco. Before I could complete my report, the call dropped, and for the next 10 or so minutes I had no service, only "SOS". I'm on Verizon, and the timing doesn't match up with this headline, but now I'm suspicious.

Sounds like a standard dropped call due to a dead zone.

VZW doesn't have dead zones on 101 in the Bay Area, in my experience.

Could be issues with a single tower or something.

Sounds typical for Verizon tbh
