Verizon national data outage

Just called Verizon since a few people in the Indianapolis area are buzzing on Twitter about a data outage. The lady I spoke with confirmed it is a national data outage they just became aware of 10-15 minutes ago. Her suggestion was to check your phone every hour or so. :-\
