Huh? I said no such thing. What I did say is that there have been many cases (in this forum) where people have lost their data and needed a new SIM or new device from Verizon.
Even Verizon tier 2 tech support told me it was a "known issue" and told me a fix would be coming but until then I needed to go into a Verizon corporate store for a new SIM and if that didn't fix it a new device. I did just that and when the SIM didn't fix it they orderd me a new device. Others in this forum have had the same issues. My original device worked for the first month and a half and then just lost data and couldn't get it back causing me to think there was a data outage.
How wide spread or what the issue is, I have no idea.
