Some Ada area Verizon customers have received a text message from the telecommunications company advising them of potential disruptions to service in the coming days. A text message received on Friday, February 21 reads as follows: 

"Verizon Msg: We're upgrading our network near Ada, OH 45810 within the next week. You may experience a temporary disruption to your mobile services and/or wireless home internet service. In limited cases, work may shift out as much as 2 weeks. Thanks for your patience as we make the network that America relies on even better."

The Icon has reached out to Verizon for further details.

In 2024 Verizon customers in the Ada area experienced inconsistent service conditions within the village and expressed concerns about being able to make emergency calls as well as use normal text, voice and data services.
