RacingGreen Thank you for the details. We are concerned that you said service was different in your previous home. To clarify, were you using the same phone or a different device? Have you reached out to technical support for a ticket to be filed?

I was using the same phone in zip code 46033, which has pretty low grade coverage but I was always able to send texts. Here in 29615, VZ cannot seem to get about 20% of texts sent.

VZW:  I was using the same phone in zip code 46033, which has pretty low grade coverage - there, the problem was missed calls, but I was able to send texts. Here in 29615, VZW cannot seem to get about 20% of texts sent. Sometimes cycling the device off then back on will help. Sometimes not.

Do I live in an area with such spotty service, despite being shown on maps as solid 4G, that I need to consider other carriers? How can I find that out? My husband's ATT service is always strong here. If the problem is VZW simply does not serve this area, it would help to be told that.

This is odd RacingGreen. I checked the zip codes you have provided and I see solid 4G LTE coverage in all areas. Typically, when we issues all over, we need to focus on the device itself. Do you know if a resoluion ticket has been submitted so we can investigate this? Have we done any troubleshooting with your phone?

No troubleshooting has been done on my Nokia Icon, which works works perfectly in other areas. Neighbors with other devices have the same issues I have, so it is unlikely to be the equipment although I am open to suggestions. Do you have some?

Thanks for the additional details RacingGreen. How far do you have to be from your home area to see improvement in service? Try sending a message to yourself when you're at home; how long does it take to receive it? What indicator and signal bars do you see in the indicator?
