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.

Is it possible to bring a non-Verizon unlock iPhone 5 to the Verizon network?

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.

Ibook connects to my new Verizon network but isn't on the internet

Hi,
I just signed on for Verizon internet, receiving a "hotspot" wireless modem in the bargain. I loaded the Verizon Manager software on my main computer (a Macbook) and all is well with that. I expected my older ibook (dual-usb circa 2001 running 10.2.8) to just "join the network" as it always has done previously when I took it to the library or another wifi hotspot to go high-speed.
My ibook reads the Verizon network just fine, displays it in the Airport menu, and shows a full signal in the airport icon/menu. However, I get a message that I am not connected to the internet when I try to get online with Safari. I knew going in that my ibook did not have the minimum system requirements per Verizon, but the person I talked to said that I only needed those requirements for the computer which would run the software (my Macbook), and that the ibook would just "join the network" once the network was established. I admit I was cynical but hoped it was true.
Is the simple answer that my ibook is just too old to utilize the Verizon technology? Or is there some way to enter the setting in my Macbook (for network/airport, etc... there is no way to do it with the Verizon software) to make this happen? Thanks for any help. mktreat
PS I don't think this has any bearing on the question but FYI I previously had only dial-up internet (wirelessly) through an Airport Extreme Base station (the conical one). My Macbook and ibook both had no trouble getting (dial-up) internet through that.

Thanks to all...
at the moment, after reading Rhonda's reply and accessing the link she provided, I am hoping that the only issue is the old software... Since I posted, I have had to return my Verizon fivespot and replace it with the older version (it was dying on me randomly). Now I can't even access the network from my ibook... but when following Rhonda's link, the linked article showed the exact message I am getting when I try to sign on. Am going to upgrade my system software and see if that helps.
If that's not it, I'll try some of the other suggestions. Thanks again.

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?

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.

? New Verizon iPhone Better or Just Better Network?

OK, so I have been waiting almost 4 years to get an iPhone, staying with Verizon all this time. I threw away a perfectly good Motorola Razor, or whatever it is called, cell phone on Monday. Within my limited reception area I now have much better reception at all locations inside my house (previously marginal or zero in some rooms).
So, is the new Verizon iPhone 4 somehow better than other phones or what? When it came out on the ATT network there were instantly many threads complaining about numerous issues. This is not the case right now. Should I be real happy that I now have a superior product on a superior network?

Yep, go pop the cork from the champagne, pat yourself on the back and enjoy your iPhone.

Will the new T-Mobile Iphone 5 also work on the Att & Verizon networks?

I am a long time T-Mobile user and strongly considering purchasing the new TMO Iphone 5. What I would like to know is will the TMO phone work on ATT and/or Verizon network if at some point I would ever want to switch.

THe TMobile phone is unlocked. You make a down payment and then pay the rest of the full price of the phone over 20 months. There is no contract so you can leave the network any time, but then you would have to finish paying for the iPhone immediately. It will work with the ATT network but not with Verizon, as it is a GSM phone.

Is the Note 3 compatible with the new Verizon XLTE network coming?

I read that Verizon will be unveiling their new XLTE network on May 19th? The new service is supposed to provide better service in 50 new markets.
Will the Note 3 work on the new network?
What are the 50 new markets?

I've already noticed an increase in speeds and confirmed it using speedtest as shown above. I originally thought it was the recent KitKat update that brought the increased speeds until I saw this thread. The speeds averaged between 20-40 Mbps when I first got the Note 3 back in early April and now the speeds are about 50-75 Mbps on average. Is it possible that Verizon has already rolled out XLTE or could I see internet speeds go even higher when they do roll out XLTE?

Starting up a New Verizon Contract for Iphone 4s

So I've been wanting to switch carriers to Verizon and buy the Iphone 4S. The problem is, I want to be a familyshare plan and the rest of my family wants free new Verizon phones or whatever phone discounts Verizon has to offer as well. Will my family still be able to say get 3 discounted or free Verizon phones if I order my Iphone 4S online?

Call Verizon and ask.

Can I transfer my voicemails from old att iphone to new verizon iphone?

can I transfer my voicemails from old att iphone to new verizon iphone?

Syncing won't transfer the photos. If you want to transfer you camera roll photos, as well as your other data and settings, see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109. If you only are concerned with photos, import them from your old phone to your computer as shown here:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083, then put them in a folder and select to sync this folder to your new phone on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and sycing your new phone.

IMovie '08 7.1.4 is not recognizing my new Verizon iPhone

My iMovie '08 7.1.4 is not recognizing my new Verizon iPhone. How can I get iMovie '08 to recognize my Verizon iPhone so I can import the videos of my kids from there.

You might consider upgrading to iMovie 11. It would cost about $15.
For iMovie 08, I would try to import the movies into iPhoto. Then you can access them in iMovie through the iPhoto Event.

I would discover which brand of routers verizon bundle and go to the router makers homepage and check if they had a newer firmware for the router
