Service has been restored to Verizon Wireless customers in metro Atlanta after outages were reported early Monday, spokeswoman Kate Jay told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

“Engineers were able to identify and resolve the issue and service was restored by 1:50 p.m.,” she said in an emailed statement.

Verizon Wireless customers had problems making calls and accessing the internet due to outages in metro Atlanta.

Earlier, the company said they were “experiencing a service interruption affecting 3G and 1X voice and data for some customers north and west of Atlanta.”

On Twitter and other social media platforms, Verizon customers reported problems with service.

The company has not said how many customers were affected nor how long the outages lasted.
