We are still actively working with OptConnect to get the intermittent Verizon issues stabilized. In the interim, OptConnect has transitioned all devices to AT&T primary to temporarily help stabilize the local modes. Kiosks may still go into local mode, but functionality will not be affected. If you have any question, please contact our Support Team. Thank you, 365 Support Team
