WASHINGTON (AP) -- Some Verizon Wireless customers trying to phone their Happy New Year wishes experienced service outages soon after midnight Tuesday morning.

Verizon spokesman John Johnson says it was a software problem made worse in the D.C. area because of high call volume.

It took about four hours to fix the glitch.
