IPhone 5s issues on Verizon network

does anyone have the iPhone 5s on Verizon? I've had issues with voice echo back and calls breaking up and they can't seem to fix it.. it's been 4 mos now?

Several million people do, I'd imagine. (or at least several hundred thousand).
Have you tried any troubleshooting at all on the phone?

    Is it possible to bring a non-Verizon unlock iPhone 5 to the Verizon network? 
    I spent over an hour and a half talking and/or waiting on Verizon customer service yesterday and another 52 minutes today.  At the end of all that, Verizon's representative told me that even though my iPhone 5 is unlocked, I can't bring it to the Verizon network.
    During this time, I was told several times that my phone had to be added to the Verizon database.  Yesterday when I was told this, I was told it would take 30 to 60 minutes.  Today I was told that it might take two to three days but that even after the change to the database goes through, I still would not be able to use my phone on Verizon's network.

    No not possible. Verizon doesn't import IMEIs into their database. Also the unlocked iPhone 5 does not have a CDMA radio so it wouldn't connect anyway.  You need to use a GSM carrier for that iPhone to work.

  • New iPhone 6 on new Verizon network, weaker signal

    I just set up my new iPhone 6 on the Verizon network (coming from Sprint).  I am only getting one bar signal strength now, in a major suburban area that always has good service.  How can I tell if I am currently on the 4G network, or only tapping into 3G?  My area show red on the map, but not the darkest red.  Does that mean I don't get 4G here?  If so, how can I set my phone to 3G again (if that will give me more signal strength).
    Thanks.

    My wife and I just switched to Verizon from AT&T. We have been seeing fewer bars of signal strength. I assumed it was due to the Carriers' signal strength. I wasn't aware that iPhone 6's are experiencing signal difficulties.
    I'm not sure now if the difference we are experiencing is due to the different carrier, or to iPhone 6's. When with AT&T we were using 4s's and 5s's. We have LTE set to Data Only. Have not tried Voice & Data. We get LTE in most locations.

  • Do I have to activate international roaming for my iPhone 4S on the Verizon network?

    I have called Verizon to turn on Intl roaming and data.  Two questions:  with my Blackberry, I had to dial *228 to complete the activation.  Is anything like this necessary with the iPhone 4s?  Does anyone have tips/tricks for using iPhone overseas?

    Dialing *228 updates the Preferred Roaming List, that is, the list of cell towers the phone looks for. It's not a bad idea to do it once a month or so and it's a good idea to do it before you travel internationally. However, you're phone will still work even if you forget.
    Turn your data off when you're not using it. The 100 megs you get for $25 doesn't last very long.

    My apps store will not go online with verizon network, but on wifi it works. I am on an iphone 4, verizon.  I tried to do a complete, backup and restore on the phone 1 day before i noticed this problem,  The backup finished but the RESTORE would fail I had an error, could not access Apple server ( some server name I cant remember).
    I have plenty of space available on the iphone,
    8gb free,
    ios version- 6.1.3 ( 10B329)
    carrier - Verizon 14.0
    Modem Firmware - 3.0.04
    Can someone help.
    I tried doing my backup restore on the same computer as I once did a year ago. and THis time I cant do the restore on the iphone.
    computer osx is 10.5.8
    itunes version 10.
    I do not wish to go to ios 7 at this time.

    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If the issue continues, contact the carrier to troubleshoot the network connectivity issues.

  • Ios 7 disconnected Iphone 4S from Verizon network

    I know some other people have had this problem, but their solutions didn't work for me, so I thought I'd throw the question back out. I chatted with a Verizon customer service person yesterday and he said something about the update from Apple's end makes it so the Verizon network can't authenticate my phone. I've done several full factory resets, my wifi works fine, but I get no service and when I plug into ITunes it doesn't even recognize my phone number. The Verizon person I talked to said he'd send the bug to their engineers and it would be fixed in a few hours, but it's been a day and a half and nothing has improved. Thanks in advance for any help!

    It doesn't have to be that complicated, Verizon iPhones come unlocked, just tell VZ you're going on Holiday/Traveling and suspend the service, no need to pay for service if you're not going to be using it. Pick up local SIM cards in the countries of your choosing, pop them in, re-activate iMessage and you're set!
    I recommend getting a SIM card from the Three network in England, they have great EU roaming rates and free like-home roaming in Italy.
    Set your phone's region to match the country you're in, it'll save from some headaches when calling local/international numbers.
    To answer your questions,
    1. If you choose not to have a local SIM card, it is good to keep your phone in Airplane mode to save battery.
    2. Make sure the two iPhones have different names to reduce sync/restore issues.
    3. If husband has an iPhone also, you can chat with iMessage/Facetime, just give him heads up about the new number you'll have. Otherwise, use Whatsapp if he's got an Android. You can activate Whatsapp with your American number or the international number if you choose to get a SIM in Europe.
    Also, Get the MagicJack app and/or Google Hangouts, both of those apps provide you with free calling to the USA and Canada using any internet connection. Google Voice is another good way to SMS across the seas.
    Let me know if you need any more tips for iPhoning across the pond.

  • 4S Verizon Network / Internet Connectivity Issues?

    I have been having problems with what appears to be Verizon Network/Internet Connectivity issues. I am located in northern Colorado, using an iPhone 4S with a Mophie Air battery backup/case.
    I am in a solid 4G area (even though the phone is 3G) and I have not had any problems with any connection issues, until last night. I still see three bars of 3G service on the phone indicator area...so it is decieving. 
    I can still recieve emails, text messages, and phone calls, but nothing that uses the internet will work.  All apps seem to try to open and try to update, but the whizzy-wheel indicator just sits and spins until I get a "Network Error" message or a time out error of some kind. Most error pop-ups are saying to check the internet settings and try again. Ugh!
    Also, since it seems to be trying to recognize the network all the time (even when all tasks are killed and nothing should be running), my battery is going down MUCH faster today! I took it off of the charger at 7am and it was down to 20% battery in only 4 hours! Then I turned on the battery backup, and it is quickly using that up too! At this rate my phone will be completely DEAD by the time I leave work today, and I haven't even used it for anything all day (except to try to connect to the web a few times - testing)!
    I have tried the following so far to try to regain internet through the Verizon network, to no avail:
    checked for software updates...phone was up to date with iOS 6.0.1
    checked my firmware version (it is 3.0.04)
    killed all background/running apps (with the home button double-click/hold icon/end)
    "reset" my phone via a couple of methods (both the regular power off option and the force-power off option).
    *228, option 2 (to reset Roaming)
    cleared all data cache areas/cookies/etc.
    Cellular data is set to "On"; Roaming is set to "On" for all options;
    I have a 64GB device (57.3 usable capacity) of which I still show 46.2 available.
    WiFi is set to "Off" (although I can use WiFi at home with no problem if I need to, but I shouldn't have to!)
    Airplane Mode is set to "Off"; Restrictions are set to "Off"; Bluetooth is set to "Off"
    Basically, there is NO REASON my phone should be having connection issues! 
    PLEASE HELP?!!

    I tried everything you did and more, i thought i had it working, but i got a voicemail today and when i went to open it earlier it just has the wheel loading forever and then says it cant onnect to voicemail. the searching does make it wear down the battery faster as well.  i can get calls, texts etc, but i cant help but think there are a few bugs with the ios 6.01 software

  • My work blackberry can text my personal iphone 4s 16GB, but this iphone cannot then text reply back to my BB. Both devices are on Verizon network and have differnt phone

    Hi my work Blackberry can text my personal iphone 4S, but this iphone cannot then text reply back to the BB (using SMS).
    Both devices are on Verizon network and have independent phone #s.  Voice calls are no problem either way, but text msg from the iphone to BB is the problem.  This same iphone have no issues 2-way texting another iphone or a LG Cosmos 2 "flip phone" in the family.  I've tried a) turning off the iphone's wifi; b) toggle iMessage on or off; c) resetting the network; and d) turning the iphone on/off but so far no success.

    This is a BlackBerry 9930 on 7.1.0.1066.  I've only recently tried texting between this BB and the iphone, so there were no prior  succcesses sending from iphone to the BB.

    If this doesn't resolve it you most likely have a hardware failure. Fortunately, your phone is in warranty, so if you take it to an Apple store they will replace it.

  • Anyone else had issues with phone network being unavailable on iPhone 4 since updating to iOS 5.0.1? My iPhone 4 is continually searching for a network and does not find my provider. I swapped SIMs with another iPhone 4 on ios 4 to confirm device problem.

    Has anyone else had issues with phone network being unavailable on iPhone 4 since updating to iOS 5.0.1? My iPhone 4 is continually searching for a network and does not find AT&T, my provider. I swapped SIM cards with another iPhone 4 running ios 4 and established this is a device problem, not a SIM card problem.

    Does the device get any signal? 
    Sounds like the device may have had a hardware failure.  If it is out of warranty, the only option is the Out of Warranty replacement.
    AppleCare is only an option if it is still under the original warranty.

  • Is it possible to get my old iphone 3gs from att to work on a verizon network?

    is it possible to get my old iphone 3gs from att to work on a verizon network?

    No - your iPhone is a GSM phone and Verizon uses a CDMA network. Completely incompatible device and technology.

  • Can you get an iphone 5 at target that uses AT&T or Verizon network and use the Straight Talk plan from Walmart?

    Can you get an iphone 5 at target that uses AT&T or Verizon network and use the Straight Talk plan from Walmart? I don't have AT&T or Verizon network and I don't want to get them but I was just wondering if you can get the iphone 5 that is at target and use it for the straight talk plan. I will be getting the straight talk plan but I would like to do some research on the iphone 5 first for straight talk. At walmart the phone is $544.99 and I think it will be a lot cheaper to buy it at target.
    Thank You!

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

  • After an update a week or two ago my iphone5 began to go off the correct time. This happens at night. It does not matter whether it is on the charger or not. I have OS6.0.1(10A525), Verizon network, a white 16Gig iPhone.

    So again...I have a 16G white iphone 5. It kept good time when I first got it. Then after an update to the ios about 2 weeks ago... it started to lose time at night. It's set for 10AM  and doesn't go off until about 30 to 40 minutes later. It only seems to lose time at night. It doesn't matter whether it is being charged or not. I have the white iphone 5, 6.0.1 (10A525), 16G, Verizon network, Washington state. I have had Verizon coverage for aver 10 years and never had this problem before the latest upgrade to my iphone5.
    I did remove the other world clocks thinking that might help but it did not.
    Any suggestions?

    No. You have no alternative but to plug it into a computer running iTunes and restore it.

  •  Will an unlocked iPhone 5 work on the Verizon network?

     Will an unlocked iPhone 5 work on the Verizon network? I know this question is probably premature, I don't think apple has mentioned anything about it yet, but I saw that past unlocked iPhones (4 and 4S) would not work on Verizon. I'm a Verizon customer and I want to keep my unlimited data plan, the only way to do this is buy a iPhone at retail, but from what I saw regarding the 4 and 4S I may not be able to do this. I did read that the iPhone 4S is being made in three distinctive models, 1 with a CDMA network and 2 others with varied GSM - LTE networks. I'm hoping this means that an unlocked iPhone 5S can now run on the Verizon network. Any ideas if I'm correct? Thanks. 

    Honestly I'm not convinced to jump to sprint so quickly. I am monitoring my data as it is, I'm a heavy data user as I watch a lot of movies from Netflix Hulu plus crackle etc. the flip side of this is that I do most of this on my iPad, which I have currently unlimited data on, so I can still get by without unlimited data on my cell, it's more of me not wanting to lose what I have. But thanks for all the info. I'm secretly hoping that apple has redone the unlocked iPhones but I wont lose any sleep over wishful thinking. I'm just quite anal I guess lol. Thanks again
