Having trouble with your Verizon phone? Here's why:

PITTSBURGH — Are you having trouble with your Verizon cell phone? You aren't alone.

Channel 11 received a number of messages from people Friday who reported issues with their cell phone service.

We reached out to Verizon to find out what was behind the dropped calls.

A company spokesperson said a network update was pushed out Thursday evening and that caused some phones previously registered to the cell phone network to become de-registered.

There are no outages, the spokesperson said.

If you're having trouble, Verizon said you need to turn off and restart your phone and that should re-register it within the network.
