Good cell service, horrible data service - Orlando, FL

I live in southwest Orlando and have become very frustrated at the lack of data availability in the area.  I almost always have good cell service.  Never a dropped call and usually plenty of bars on my iPhone 5.  However, there are several areas where I may have five bars - but no data service at all!
Please advise if this is being addressed as my wife and I NEED reliable data service for our jobs.
Thanks,

  • San Rafael, CA--large residential area with NO cell, and NO data service--area rated by Verizon tech as "ALL COVERAGE BAD", multiple complaints--but no response by Verizon

    Dear Verizon Wireless Executives,
    I am writing to let you know that I (and many of my neighbors) are on the verge of switching to ATT, due to terrible reception in my home neighborhood. 
    I moved to Dominican neighborhood in San Rafael in March 2014, where I bought a house. I discovered that Verizon cell service varies from non-existent to terrible, both for data and cell service. At best I might get 1x data, and 0 or 1 bar for cell. All calls are dropped within 15 seconds. Data typically does not work.
    My response was to first purchase and install a network extender. However, due to the size and configuration of my home,  I discovered that I needed a second extender to cover the whole house. This has led to new problems—the two extenders “compete” and if I start a call in one part of the house and move 1 or 2 feet too far in the other direction, I lose the call.
    ATT has a powerful cell tower on the ridge above my neighborhood, which consistently produces 5 bars. It sits on a ridge in the Marin Open Space, likely on an old Nike base radio tower. (there are numerous towers on this ridge as a result of the abandoned Nike missle site).
    I have begun to organize in my neighborhood—Dominican/Black Canyon Home Owners Asssociation, with about 1200 homes. When I posted a message asking about other people’s experience with Verizon Wireless, I was inundated with at least 30 or 40 angry and frustrated messages from Verizon customers, on NextDoor, a neighborhood listserve.
    Today I completed a long Verizon Wireless “trouble ticket”, number NRB000007366782. I was told that there have been many, many complaints from this neighborhood for both data and cell coverage, or more to the point, lack of coverage. Your records indicate that this neighborhood is considered within Verizon as a “1X marginalization area”. And yet ,  currently there is no plan at Verizon to remedy this situation.
    I strongly encourage you to begin an immediate search for access to one of the many existing towers on the ridge above my house to place a Verizon cell station.
    In the event that you choose to continue to ignore this neighborhood and it’s abysmal coverage, I will organize a mass defection of Verizon Wireless residents to switch to ATT. I encourage you to begin this process now, let me and the neighborhood know of your plans, and have it completed in six months. If we have  not heard from you within 1 month (November 21, 2014), we will switch to ATT en masse beginning in December.

    That is not going to happen due to a myriad of reasons.
    1- Verizon listed the area correctly. So its not deceiving the customers. So based on that I would have left for a better provider.
    2- Verizon cannot just pop out and place service on any tower or property. They must gain permission to place signal towers in locations. They must secure the approval of villages, towns, cities or counties to even think of putting service towers up. This can take years.
    Then if the approval is opposed and no other sites can be obtained your service stays as it is. This is not a carrier fault. Go after the town boards and elected officials that will not allow their placement.
    And blame the majority of people who also oppose these towers etc. Based on scares of cancer, birth defects, and even people having seizures. Yep read up on it.
    Your speaking for your neighbors is admirable but futile. You cannot get what you want in 6x6 months.

  • Low Data and Cell Service.

    Who can I contact about cell signal and data strength dropping in area. I work in the area of 71st and Colorado Blvd, Commerce City, CO 80022. The signal bars went from 4-3 to 1-no signal, data has gone from 4G to 1G. This is the same for all three smart phones I have. 1ea Samsung Galaxy S3 and 2ea Samsung Galaxy S4. It bothers me that my Co-workers who have a Samsung Galaxy S4 with other providers are at 4G and 4 bars. The worst thing is hearing them saying I should have go with T-Mobile or AT&T. I've been with Verizon a long time and picked Verizon because of the service and area coverage. Let me know what I should do.
    Thanks,
    Gregg

    From thread: Re: iOS 8.1 always in extended coverage
    mauricefromtampaOct 21, 2014 6:44 PM Re: iOS 8.1 always in extended coverage
    Re: iOS 8.1 always in extended coveragein response to phil1992
    Here's the fix:
    I had the same issues when I upgraded my iphone 6 to ios 8.1, I was able to chat with someone from Apple and they told me to do this: Go to settings-->Cellular-->Enable LTE--> choose Voice and Data
    After doing that it switched from "Extended" back to "Verizon", here's his explanation:
    "Okay, so in the process of Verizon activating their new LTE network, they’re retiring some towers, upgrading some towers, and transitioning others. It’s possible that they may have recently made changes in your area, or we’ve just tweaked the settings so that Verizon’s network looks primarily for LTE versus the CDMA network you had been on."
    Hope that helps, it worked for me

  • I no longer have cell service on my iPhone 4

    1 day after the upgrade to 4.3.3 my cell service no longer works. It doesn't work in my home (wifi does) where service is normally excellent, and it no longer works anywhere. I have tried restarting and resetting it, switching airport mode on and off...which yesterday worked temporarily but not after I lost service again soon after. I contacted my service provider to see it there was a problem with the service....nothing seems to help. My phone seemed to work fine for 1 day after the upgrade but not the next day. I didn't do anything unusual that I normally wouldn't do. Any ideas while I await the tech people of my service provider to contact me?

    Thank you wjosten, I have cell service back now! I backed everything up and went thru the restore process. I got cell service back so thought I would try loading my stuff back to see if it would work. So far, it seems to work tho the 2 texts I received after I restored and before I reloaded my data have disappeared but at least I have service back. I will continue to monitor for abnormalities and consider having it serviced. Thank you so much!!

  • Cell service working on open box Verizon iPad without setting it up

    Bought an open box Verizon iPad 3.  Went through set up but not enter an Id or credit card for cell service.  But cell service is working, and I can't log into the account with any of my ids.  Any thoughts on what's going on?

    Hello,
    I should be more specific.  The iPad does register Cellular Service with multiple dots on the upper left of my main screen.  However, there seems to be an internal "disconnect" because apps like Maps and Safari don't recognize or know there is an active cellular connection.
    When I go to Settings > Cellular Data and slide the "switch" to "ON" the Enable LTE "switch" becomes available and it "switch" it to "ON" also the Data Roaming "switch" becomes available and I slide it to "ON".   Lower on the Cellular Data page are 6 apps in "Use Cellular Data For:"  All but FaceTime are "switched" "ON". 
    Under Safari in the "Use Cellular ...:" is "System Services.  Pressing System Services brings up 15 "Services" beginning with "iTunes Accounts" and ending with "Software Updates".  All 15 have some amount of usage shown.
    Back on the Cellular Data page there is a listing for "SIM PIN".  When I touch the right pointing carat two lines appear.  The lower one labeled "Change PIN" is greyed out.  The upper one labeled SIM PIN has a slide "switch".  When I slide the SIM PIN "switch" to the right to turn it "on" a numeric keypad momentarily appears then, a moment later, the screen changes to the main page.  Double clicking the Home button reveals Settings remains open.
    I have removed the SIM Card several times and cleaned the contacts with a "Q Tip" and Isopropyl alcohol, rubbed the contacts with a Pentel Hi-Polymer eraser and again with Q Tip and Isopropyl alcohol.  I have also inserted and ejected the SIM CARD drawer several times attempting to remove any corrosion from the internal contacts.  Again, some portion of the iPad knows there is an active Cellular signal but apps fail to register the connection.
    Any further thoughts?
    Thanks

  • I am getting redirects on iPad air and iPad 2 whether using wifi or Cell services.

    iPad Air
    running 8.2
    Model mfoo3ll/a
    I did a search today for a local doctors website and phone number using google.
    When I clicked on the site I was first directed to a "app" to buy ****.
    I closed the window and opened a new window and typed in the URL directly and then got redirected to to other **** sites.
    When I tried on the desktop computer, everything was fine and got to the website normally.
    I then cleared all history, cookies and web data.  Still the same redirect result going to the same website.
    I did the above and shut down and restarted. Still the same thing.
    I read about possible infected wireless routers where one of the tips was going to a different wireless network and see if it cleared up the issue.  So I turned off the wifi and turned one the ATT cell service.  Still same result.
    I am looking for suggestion on what to do next.

    I did see that article. 
    Did you see where I said I used the Cell Service not wifi?  totally bypassed my wife router and its still doing weird sh_t
    I am on ATT cell service and when I open Safari, instead of a blank window, it defaults to the BING website.  This is totally bypassing the router and using cell service.
    I did a reset as per jazcan, installed 8.3 and still No Joy.

  • After iOS8.1.3 upgrade on 5c lost Verizon cell service (works sporadically,  "No Service" most of time).

    Carrier version Verizon 18.1
    iOS version 8.1.3 (12B466)
    iPhone 5C (ME553LL/A)
    After iOS8.1.3 upgrade on 5c lost cell service (works sporadically). WiFi works fine, all other phone functions work fine.  Replaced SIM at Verizon store, updated carrier settings, did a factory reset, and nothing works.  About 20% of the day I will get service while sitting in a high-coverage area.  If
    I restart the phone several times, sometimes it re-syncs to the network. 
    Prior to iOS 8.1.3 upgrade, phone was working fine, no signal/service issues.  I am not 100% sure what version of iOS and carrier I was running prior to the upgrade (Verizon 18.0? and iOS 8.0?).  I have found no way to roll-back to the prior (working) version of iOS that I was running.
    This is an issue somewhere between Apple and Verizon, so I have found it frustrating to resolve.  I have spent ~2.5 hrs over 3 support sessions with Verizon.  Have no submitted ticket to Apple support.  Seems like others have had similar issues – but not a common issue.
    Let me know if you have suggestions while waiting for Apple to help.
    Thanks,
    John

    Couple things you can try, Reinsert the sim and power cycle the iPad. Also go to settings>general>reset then select reset subsciber services then attempt to log in to your verizon account, lastly reset network settings and see if that helps. If none of the above help, i would take to apple retail store to have serviced or replaced or contact verizon to make sure everything is good on there end as well.

  • I recently discovered that my 3G cell service will not steam Netflix or Crackle?  I cell service is in. I was able to watch before 2weeks ago. Wifi works fine.  Can't stream movies with cell service.  Why is that?  Quite frustrated!

    PPlease help, I can't stream netflix or crackle using my data plan. I have 3G. And wifi works fine.  Worked fine until 2 weeks ago. Cell service is turned on.

    We are here to help, on the double Cleopet8088! May I ask what zip code are you in? Also, what iOS version do you have installed on your iPad? If you have voice service with us on a cell phone then are you having the same issue there? As you share the details then we can investigate.
    Thank you...

  • IPad 2 shows no cell service

    A week or so after I upgraded my iPad 2 to IOS 8, it began showing no cell service, sometimes once per day, sometimes multiple times per day. I have found that the problem can be fixed by rebooting the iPad, but in the last couple of days, the iPad will show 3G service after rebooting but Safari and other apps will say that it has no internet connection. Rebooting again has solved the problem so far, but this is extremely annoying.

    Hi Paul,
    I can imagine running into cellular service issues after upgrading iOS on your iPad would be frustrating. I recommend taking a look at at the article linked below because it provides a lot of great troubleshooting suggestions that will resolve cellular service issues on iOS devices.

  • Don't update to 8.0.1 issue losing cell service and Touch ID

    Everyone updating to the new iOS 8.0.1 update are having issues with losing cell service and Touch ID. Seems to be happening if you update over the air and not through computer and iTunes but I'll wait anyway.

    I updated over the air. However no real issues other than former settings changed to default settings. Bluetooth has to be reset up even if still in your device list. WiFi same issue. If you head over to
    http://www.apple.com/support and go to the iOS forum you will see many more issues but as you know Verizon did not do the update.
    So Apple is the place to complain or get a fix.
    Device works pretty good after you fix the quirks.
    Good Luck

  • No Cell Service

    Is anybody else experiencing difficulty connecting to cell service in the Central PA area? Located in Elizabethtown and there is no way to connect to a call! Sister-in-law lives in Mt Joy and is having the same difficulty. Very frustrating! Is there a tower down or something. Why wouldn't Verizon send out an email/text/anything to there customers explaining the difficulty. I wouldn't be so upset if they would just own up to it.

    Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
    Note: You will not lose any data.

  • Low Cell Service in Home

    My cell service in my home is horrible - we have iPhone 5s. Even friends that come over can't make calls. Most of them also own an iPhone 5S. We have to place it by windows and that doesn't even help. Always at 1 bar and most of the time it doesn't even ring. I drop calls all the time too. And it's even worse when it's cloudy. ha! I've been researching signal boosters, network extenders and wifi calling, but I don't feel like handing out more money when I'm already paying for a service I'm not receiving. Anyone have any advice for a solution? My zipcode is 06073. According to the map, we have excellent coverage.

    I find it interesting people continually claim they are paying for a service they are not receiving. I can't imagine this is the case. You are NOT paying for a service in a specific location. If that WERE the case, you would be talking about a landline. A landline is the best service for a static location.
    Cellular service is a mobile service and NOT ALL AREAS will receive the same(if any) level of signal. Some areas won't have any signal. You are NOT paying for signal in all areas. Service in any specific location is NOT guaranteed and even areas showing excellent coverage on Verizon maps will have locations of limited or no service due to factors Verizon cannot control.
    The statement that you are paying for a service you are NOT receiving would ONLY be true if you received never receive signal anywhere. If this is the case, change your service. If you NEED service in a specific location, shop around for the provider which provides the best service in that area. No provider will have the best service in all areas.
    If you decide to stay with Verizon, you will either have to live with the service they have in that location or utilize the method they have to remedy this problem. That method is normally a network extender.
    It is the responsibility of the customer to determine is Verizon is the correct provider for them. Verizon provides a 14 day return period where you can return your device without penalty if you decide Verizon does not meet your service needs. Of course, there will be a $35 restocking fee for the device.

  • My phone was stolen and I discontinued cell service to the phone through my provider. Before discontinuing service, I locked my phone from the icloud. Now that it is no longer being serviced by the service provider, will it remain locked?

    My phone was stolen and I discontinued cell service to the phone through my provider. However, before discontinuing service, I locked my phone from the icloud. Now that it is no longer being serviced by the service provider, will the phone remain locked?

    Thanks, James. Sadly, I had not upgraded to iOS 7 as I only had an iphone 4 and those I knew with the 4 who upgraded had major issues with battery life, so I decided not to upgrade. However, I know the phone was locked because the new "owner" called and hung up on me while calling the number I listed in the "This phone is stolen message" set by the cloud. Are you saying that my phone will remain locked if they don't know how to break into it? Or are you saying that it will no longer stay locked once I turned off service to the phone?

  • PO under Confirm Goods Receipt/Services Performed

    Hi Gurus,
    We are currently under SRM5.0 using classic scenario. Last year we had our technical upgrade from SP4 to SP12.
    The scenario is that a requestor did the PO confirmation per line item level and has been approved and posted backend. However, he can still view the PO under Confirm Goods Receipt/Services Performed screen. He then tried to create another confirmation but this time warning message "PO XXXXXX contains no items for confirmation" occured while creating confirmation.
    Before the upgrade, requestor is claiming that once confirmation has been approved, they will no longer see the PO under Confirm Goods Receipt/Services Performed screen since no more action is required on their part.
    Kindly advise if the behaviour is due to the recent upgrade from SP4 to SP12.
    Thanks.

    Hello Joanna Marie,
    Some points to check (if not done):
    - is method BBP_WF_LIST from BAdI BBP_WF_LIST implemented ?
    - are PO items concerned have flag "No further confirmations expected" set or not (i think it is set because you have pop-up error message),
    -  is parameter 'Delivery Completed Ind. not set' unset for report BBP_GET_STATUS_2 ?
    Regards.
    Laurent.
