Krispy Kreme will give out free glazed doughnuts for any and 🍩SCA Communityall cell service troubles experienced Thursday. 

The doughnut chain said they are giving customers at participating retail locations the ultimate SOS, offering one free OG doughnut after a nationwide telecommunications outage impacted tens of thousands of customers.
