IPhone 5s showing extended network instead of Verizon.

Every since I did the update on my iPhone 5s my phone has been showing extended network instead of Verizon. After reading the post, I find I'm not the only one with this problem. After almost 3 weeks with Verizon support, Apple support, trouble tickets, resetting, restoring, reinstalling, something called reprovision, a new phone and 2 new sim cards, I finally got an answer to the problem. Since I have Verizon service with an Alltel plan the update will not work. Verizon and Apple are aware of the problem but the do not like to admit it. The only solution I was offered was to change my plan to a Verizon one which would be a lot more money for a lot less service, or they would have the local store loan me a different type of smart phone ( Droid or whatever they had available) for me to use till Apple does another update with a fix. I'm not really happy with any of the options Verizon is giving me. If they can not provide me with acceptable service I think they should be the ones making the concessions, not the customers who are not getting what we are paying for. Verizon needs to come up with an acceptable plan to replace the Alltel plans.

Alltel had a smartpack plan which included unlimited data. So I imagine he's on that. Vzw of course is in it BIGTIME for the $ hence they'll need to phase out those plans by any means. Making things difficult with extended areas etc. They already made alltel phones unusable years ago

IPhone 5 showing no network when auto selected for carrier, select manually signal ok, software of hardware problem?

Hi,
I have a iPhone 5, since day one I have had poor reception, 1 bar, when my daughters Samsung S3 has 3 bars, same network btw. It makes me feel I bought the wrong phone. If one more person at Three or Apple tell me to restore my phone to factory settings, I am going to scream. Also when network is selected as auto, the phone, when it feels like it goes to no service. It is only when I select the network manually, does it get a signal.
The phone is still under Apple's 90 day support, I was reminded today by a Apple rep of this. After the 90 days I would have to buy Applecare for any software related problem. So basically if Apple do not ressolve the problem with my "not fit for purpose phone" within the 90 days, I will have to pay for it. This is not good customer service Apple, I am someone who has believed in your productsas I have an iMac and iPad. I waited years to get an iPhone because I had the 3GS, which I thought was crap, the iPhone 5 convinced me to give the iPnone another try, I have had nothing but problems with it, previous phone was a Samsung Galaxy Note, no problems at all.
Has any one else had this problem with the iPhone 5?, I thought it might be Apple's dreaded aerial problem that caused so many problems on the iPhone 4.
I would be grateful for some suggestions, I have already been advised to use it as an expensive doorstop, not funny.
Many thanks.

Well I had the exact same problem with my Iphone 5s, I tried many things such as turning the airplane mode on/off, restarting the device and also did a network settings reset. Nothing helped.
The next thing I did was to do a general reset via iTunes to factory settings (Made a backup first. Very important if you can connect to iTunes, it's a MUST). When the phone booted-up again, I had to ''activate the phone. But to activate it, I needed a connection with a network. But that was the whole problem so I was stuck and couldn't do anything with the device.
So I called the Apple support centre. We tried a few things, they all dindn't work. The last option (which worked for me) was to do a recovery (I have no idea what this reset is called) via the device+ iTunes.
To perform the reset, please follow these steps and hopefully it will work for you as well.
1. Open iTunes
2. Connect your USB cable to the computer, NOT to your device yet.
3. Power Off your device, and be sure that it is Off.
4. Press the home and hold it.
5. Connect the USB cable to your phone. You will see a iTunes logo on your device, you can release the home button.
6. Do a recovery via iTunes. iTunes will now recover the phone.
If it doesn't work the first time, try again. I had to do it twice and luckily it worked the second time.
I hope that this will help, Good luck!

Is there a way to use an "Extended" network on an AT&T iPhone

hello all! I have an iPhone 5 on AT&T. In some spots I have spotty coverage, and I'm wondering if there's a way to "Rollback" to an Extended or Partner network like the Verizon iPhone does? Thanks!

I found the following on a Verizon web page entitled "Determining Verizon Wireless Service Coverage":
"When the roam indicator is flashing or the banner display reads Extended Network, home airtime rates still apply, but additional features and services may not be available.
"When the roam indicator is solid or the banner display reads Roaming, roam rates apply and digital features and services are not available."
The distinction seems to be mainly one of price, but also of services.
As far as I can tell, AT&T has only one sort of (domestic US) roaming, but Verizon has two different terms.
As far as I can tell, since AT&T doesn't charge for domestic voice roaming, there is no switch to enable or disable it. You can switch data roaming off and on.

My phone shows extended where it should show Verizon

My phone started showing extended where Verizon should be I have not left the county where my phone is registered. I have restored my phone and its network settings. I went to Verizon and they actually sent me a warranty phone and it still says extended. I know its not a big deal but it bugs me and if it cant be fixed I just want to know what is causing the issue. It just started a couple weeks ago.

I'm sorry to learn that your phone continues to display an extended network, mitchellpalles. I would like to review your account to ensure you are provisioned correctly. I have sent you a direct message here. Please reply to my message for further assistance.

Extending network halves internet speed only for iPhone/iPad

I've got an Airport Extreme (model just before dual-band) and an Airport Express, both with 802.11n support. I'm using 802.11n (b/g compatible). When I set the two up to extend my wireless network either through WDS or the "Extend a Wireless Network" feature, my internet connection speed (as measured by Speedtest.net) drops by approximately half, but only on my iPhone 4 and iPad.
I'm aware that extending a network can affect total throughput, but in my case I have 6Mbit DSL so from my OSX machines I see a measured speed of 5Mbit, well below the max throughput of the network. However, running the rest from my iPhone or iPad right afterwords results in a speed of only ~2.6Mbit.
Changing the Airport Express to "Join a Wireless Network", instead of extending it, immediately restored the iPhone and iPad to the connection speed of the OSX machines (again, as measured with Speedtest.net).
Has anyone else seen this behavior, or even better, have you found a solution?

I now realize that there are some settings to limit content on your iPhone and iPad through "Settings", "General", "Restrictions". I've turned them on and will test it out.

Verizon FIOS, Time Capsule, and Airport Express - How to Extend Network

OK, I just got Verizon FIOS (TV, Internet, and phone). Don't care for the wireless router that is required to be used with it (want 802.11n and Time Capsule). I turned of the wireless on the Verizon FIOS router and installed a Time Capsule in Bridge Mode, which is how the Verizon rep told me to install it. As I understand it, the Verizon FIOS router is still handling DHCP, NAT, etc. I would like to extend the wireless network to reach some dead spots in my house. I have read that the Airport Express can be used to extend a wireless network from an Airport Extreme or Time Capsule, but it appears that I need to set up a WDS with the Time Capsule as the base station, which is apparently not possible on the Time Capsule in Bridge Mode. I am desperately seeking any advice on how to use Verizon FIOS, my Time Capsule, and extend the wireless network to reach the farther corners of the house. I am using a Macbook and a Thinkpad as well as an iPhone on the wireless network with a Dell desktop connected to the Time Capsule via Ethernet. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Before I switched, I had Cox Cable with a Buffalo wireless router and it had great range. Now I seem to be in a worse situation from a wireless perspective with higher TV and Internet quality. Thanks in advance.

If you have an AirPort Express(n), you can configure it to "extend a wireless network". This is a more efficient way to add additional wireless coverage (and much easier to configure than a WDS arrangement).
However, if you have an older "b/g" AirPort Express, you must use the WDS configuration method with this device and the Time Capsule if you want to increase your wireless coverage.

Airport express won't extend network via ethernet but shows GREEN (HELP!!)

I have the following routers setup up the same network and are working.
10.0.1.1 Airport Extreme (connected to hardline from IP)
10.0.1.2 Time Capsule 1 (extending network and providing internet connection to computer via ethernet)
10.0.1.3 Time Capsule 2 (extending network and providing internet connection to Xbox1)
10.0.1.4 Airport Express 1 (extending network and providing internet connection to Xbox2)
Not working correctly
10.0.1.43 Airport Express 2 (wanting to set this router up to extend network to plug into desktop)
The router seems to join the network fine and will show GREEN but doesn't show a similar IP address as the rest of the routers. It also doesn't provide any internet connection via ethernet to any computer, the network pref page says that it shows RED and that nothing is connected to the computer for internet but airport shows GREEN.
Reset the router multiple times, tried every which way of setting it up and no go. I also tried assigning it a IP and not using DHCP and gave it a 10.0.1.5 and still the same outcome.
Right now just at complete loss as to what to try next.

Sorry, the older version of the Express does not have the option to "extend a wireless network", which is the setting on the new Express that provides more wireless coverage and also enables the Ethernet port.
What you want to do can be done with a different setting..."participate in a WDS network" on both the Time Capsule and Express, but I am not recommending that you do this because WDS operates only in "g" wireless mode. Your Time Capsule would lose most of its performance in this setting and the network would slow down tremendously...defintely not what you want for gaming.
You'll have the best performance if you connect the PS3 directly to one of the Ethernet ports on the Time Capsule using an Ethernet cable. If it is not possible to run the cable, the next best performance option would be to use a pair of Ethernet powerline adapters to send the Ethernet signal over the existing AC wiring in your home.

I just upgraded my iPhone4s to iOS7 and now I am unable to make phone calls and send/receive text messaes. Network signal indicator on the upper left side of the display shows hollow circles instead of full circles (but with the network provider name). I checked with my colleagues in the office who use the same network and theirs work just fine on iOS7. Any idea how to fix the problem?

I have also called my service provider and my service remains active in the network. I tried removing and reinserting my SIM but to no avail.

It could be for any number of reasons. Since you do not identify the computer OS you use, here is information for both.
