No Verizon LTE connection

Hello, I purchased the new ipad back 32GB for verizon LTE last night.
I live in Fort Worth, TX which verizon has very strong LTE signals. However, I do not see LTE on top left and I always being connected to 3g.
I double checked that LTE is enabled in the setting. I haven't purchased the data yet, is that why I see no LTE? or regardless the data purchase,
should I see the LTE whenever LTE is available? I haven't bought the data yet because I don't need it until next week.
Any idea? Should I stop by at apple?

I have the EXACT same question, and am disheartened that the only reply has been someone that insists on replying without understanding the question. And questioning you on other aspects that don't matter.
To rephrase... If you buy a Verizon LTE iPad, but do not activate the cellular plan (yet), should "LTE" show up or not? Because "3G" shows up while I am in an LTE area. "LTE" has NEVER popped up.
The rest of the info is honestly irrelevant and doesn't need commentary. I don't need to buy a data plan yet (only need it 3 or so times a year), and am not going to spend $20 just to see if my unit is defective when someone can easily answer the question. I need to know if it's defective so I can return it now instead of when I NEED it (when I buy the plan.) Going to an apple store is out of the question. This is an EASY answer for someone who knows what they are talking about. It shouldn't be touched by someone who doesn't.
So... Should an "LTE" icon show up at the top if you haven't yet purchased a plan?

  • IPhone 5 Verizon LTE problem

    I have the 64GB iPhone 5 in white on the Verizon network.  Each day at a random time LTE will have a problem where I can't make a facetime call.  If I try and run a speed test either my up or down will not complete the test.  The only way for me to fix the issue is to toggle airplane mode and as soon as my phone picks up the Verizon LTE signal I can make a facetime call.
    I have done some troubleshooting on my own and here are some of those steps and results.
    I contacted Verizon and they "rebuilt" my line in their system.  I'm not sure what that means, but Verizon assured me it would fix any issues in their systems. 
    I have the issue on LTE only, 3G and Wifi have no issues with facetime and complete speeds tests every time without issue. 
    LTE in my area is a full 5 bars and when I'm not experiencing this issue I typically get 10-20Mb down/up
    I contacted AppleCare and they suggested I do a reset.
    I tried a reset on "Network Settings"
    Nothing above has made any progress so tonight I'm trying a full reset on the phone per AppleCare instructions.  If that doesn't work I was told to take the phone into an Apple store.  The only issue with that is the 1 hour drive one way which I'm trying to prevent.
    If anyone else is having the same issue please speak up or point me to a fix you have done. 
    Thank you,
    Tom

    I appreciate the heads up on the other thread but I'm not experiencing the same issue.  My LTE signal stays at 5 bars and doesn't drop to 3G yet I still experience slowdown and can't complete a speed test or surf the web.  Video services stop etc, so my data is effectively gone on LTE until I toggle Airplane mode or turn LTE off and use the 3G network.
    For anyone that was following this thread its worth noting that I did a full restore of the phone and I still have connectivity issues on LTE. 
    Dialing *3001#12345#* on my Verizon iPhone5 brings up "Field Test" mode which shows my LTE signal strength at -82db.  After spending a little time on google -82 seems to be a decent signal strength and is reinforced by 5 bars of signal strenth.  I don't think the issue is with Verizon's network as they report no issues and the signal appears to be good. 
    At this point I think I will be scheduling an appointment at the Apple Store.  I'm very weary of driving an hour since the issues crops up at a randomly during the day.  I'd have a nagging feeling that everything will be working at my appointment which will have to be scheduled a few days out.
    Oh well I'll update this thread once I have made some progress.

  • I am willing to buy the new ipad (wifi 4g), since i live outside of US and we dont have a LTE connection and CDMA based 3G carriers.. which version of iPad should i settle for?

    i am willing to buy the new 3rd generation ipad (wifi+ 4g), since i live outside of US and we dont have a LTE connection and CDMA based 3G carriers.. which version of iPad should i settle for?
    and isnt ipad supposedly locked to at&t and verizon????

    They aren't locked in this edition for worldwide use. However I don't believe you can use an AT&T on Verizon and vice versa. If you have CDMA service you will need the Verizon iPad.

  • IPad 3rd Gen Shows Strong Verizon LTE Signal but no Internet

    I've heen having a frequent issue where my Verizon LTE iPad is showing a full LTE connection but than I get error messages that I'm not connected to the Internet.  So I end up having to toggle Airplane mode to get it to reacquire a signal (which might take a minute or two) and than all is well again until the problem happens again.  This typically happens when I'm on the move as opposed to being at home; so perhaps an issue with transferring between cell towers but any advice to alleviate the problem would be appreciated. 

    Is this issue happening on both your work PC and MacBook or just one or the other? Are both PCs Macs? Is your "work" e-mail web-based that you can access from any web browser via just an Internet connection?
    Do each of your computers use the same DNS server settings? The default would be your ISP's DNS servers.

  • Using a Verizon Lte phone in Europe with local SIM

    I have a Verizon iPhone 4S and travel to France frequently. I am able to use my phone with a local French SIM, and it works fine. I am planning to get an iPhone 6, which will be 4G Lte. Will I be able to use that phone in France the same way I can use my 4S, which uses a micro sim card?

    Thank you, but that isn't what I'm asking. I know it will be unlocked. As I said, I have an iPhone 4S, which I use in France. I am not familiar, having never used it, with 4G Lte technology, and what I was wondering was whether the Verizon iPhone 6, with that technology, will be able to use a local SIM in France. Do they make those phones, Verizon LTE, with two radios, LTE and GSM? Is it a GSM SIM that one would use in France, or is there only one SIM, which could be temporarily replaced with a local SIM?
    Thanks again for your answer.

  • Verizon LTE ipad

    Is the Verizon LTE iPad NOT designed to activate and deactivate the 4G service?  I used the service for a month, then deactivated it.  Now, my SIM card has been fried and Verizon makes it very difficult to reinstate the Pre Paid plan although they are more than willing to have you sign up for a long term plan,  I am very very disappointed with the Verizon iPad and now I wish I purchased the AT&T iPad.

    When you want to deactivate witout burning the SIM card you have to choose "delete account later".  It cancels the autopay,s o you finish out your cycle/data and your done until you sign up for a plan again.  If you choose "delete account now" the SIM is burned and you have to get a replacement, which can be painful and your experience vaies by the store you go to.  I posted more details on activation in the thread linked below.

  • Please update Lumia 920 LTE connections issues.

    just want to say that this is a wonderful device.
    I am having issues with LTE intermittently connecting. I have to reset the phone to correct sometimes.
    Will there be a update that addresses this?

    To be honest. I have four identical 920's in my house. The other 3 people using them aren't heavy internet/data users. As soon as I used internet connection sharing (works perfectly by the way - also made sure WIFI stayed on with lock screen) my phone no longer connects to LTE as the preferred freq choice. The other phones have never done ICS and they are all constantly on LTE and never switch down. My set is constantly on 3G or 4G. If I travel, and the LTE connection is strong, then the phone does go there but typically not. I believe its a WP8 issue. Please fix because I'd like to appreciate the LTE speed that is offered here.

  • AT&T contract,suddenly lost my LTE connection on my iPhone 5

    just have signed up an at&t contract for less than a month, and suddenly my iphone lost LTE connection a few days ago. no matter how many times i reboot or reset the network settings, my iphone just can't connect to the internet. strangely however, some apps (sns apps) are still able to send and receive messages. it really annoys me a lot. anyone here with the similar problem? really need some help. btw i'm in chicago

  • My new 6  is showing LTE connection while my wife's 6  shows 4G... WHY?

    My new 6+ is showing LTE connection while my wife's 6+ shows 4G... WHY?
    all settings seem to be the same....

    One of three questions answered. In order to help, we need to go through a troubleshooting process.
    Have you talked to At&t about the difference?
    Have you reset the network settings?
    Have you talked to Apple about the issue?

  • IPad 3 Verizon LTE sim issues

    I have an iPad 3 32gb Verizon LTE.  I use the data service Verizon provides on an as needed basis. I had activated the 4G LTE service on my account one month and did not need to use it the following month so I deactivted it.  When I went to reactivate the same iPad on Verizon LTE network a few weeks later the service could not be reactivated.  I spent 3 hours at a Verizon store and we kind of figured out that it had to do with turning on and off the 4G sim.  From what I was told the 4g sim only on Verizon does not like to be turned on and off.  They had to delete my profile associated with my iPad through Verizon database and let me recreate a new profile on my iPad.  They gave me a new sim card and it still did not work (this is after resetting network setting and reprovisioning the account) I ended up having to erase my iPad and then it worked. 
    Now a month later my company decided that they want to start paying for our data plans on our iPads.  So I cancelled the current 4G LTE personal plan and was issued a new 4G LTE sim card that was tied into our business account.  (I was the one who issued it as I am in IT)  Now my Verizon iPad will not reactivate with the new sim card provided by Verizon that is to be billed to my company.  It seems like the same thing is occuring that happened previously on my iPad..
    Anyone else having these issues of activating/disconnecting service with Verizon on the new iPad 3?
    I had an iPad 2 and never had these issues.  I could just cancel and reactivate my account at any time.
    Oh and Verizon hasnt been much help they are pretty **** clueless most of the time.

    I'll add some fule to this fire, with a similar if not exactly the same issue w/ getting Verizon pre-paid service on my new iPad.
    Background: I have a first generation iPad with At&t pre-paid month to month service, which works like a top...flawless. I am also stationed in Germany, and utilize this feature for our travels to the States, as it is very efficient and the iPad is lighter than a laptop. I can pay for a month and then turn it off upon return to Europe.
    This past March, I purchase a new IPad w/ a Verizon sim, as before we moved to Germany we had Verizon cell service, which we were quite happy with. So one would think that an iPad w/ a Verizon sim would work just as well, if not better, than the At&t iPad. Negative.
    I tried activating the new iPad cellular data in early May 12, only to receive an "Activation Error."  Three attempts later, and I call Verizon Tech Support for a remedy, and have all my info taken down with a reassurance that I will be called w/in 72 hours by their engineers to help resolve the issue. They are unable to issue me a trouble ticket, though, for my reference. four days later, I call again, explaining the situation, and there is seemingly no record of my information or situation. I again am assured of a call back w/ in 72 hrs from their engineers, and am informed that Verizon is having a few issues w/ the new iPad. 
    I decide to activate service on my "old" iPad, through At&t, and do so without issue. Hmmmm....
    I also go into a retail store to see if an in-the-flesh Verizon tech can help me out.  Long story short-nope, they could not (without charging me a $35 activation fee along w/ a 2 yr contract for the service.)  As this was unacceptable to me, I declined their offer and moved along. (At&t never charged me a $35 activation fee!)
    Three days later, I call Verizon again with similar results.  This tech now recommends that I take my new iPad, which I had sent to me from Apple via an online purchase in March 12, into an Apple Store as it was defective. After a lengthy conversation with the tech regarding this issue, I request to speak w/ her supervisor, as I have yet to have any return calls from "engineers" within 72 hrs and I am a long-term loyal Verizon customer. She places me on hold, and then the call is terminated. Amazing.
    We just today returned to Germany today, and never were able to utilize the cellular data function of our new iPad w/ the Verizon sim during our travels.  I was also unable to get any assistance from Verizon over the past 17 days to reslove the issue. Not even a call back.  Had I a choice to do it again, I'd stick w/ the At&t version of the new iPad as well. Verizon's services are simply unsat, and all the personnel I spoke w/ were clueless and unable to resolve  my iPad issue.

  • IPhone5 loosing network connection on Verizon LTE

    My phone goes to LTE and most of the time the data connection stops. I have to restart my phone or turn airplane mode on then back off to get back on 3G or LTE.

    1)  Learn how to spell:  it's  "losing", not "loosing".
    2) Try a new SIM Card
    3) Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.
    If you've gone through ALL the troubleshooting steps and you're still having the problem, then you most likely have a hardware issue and will need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.

  • JetPack 4G LTE connects but "no internet access" message

    Would appreciate any help.
    My JetPack 4G LTE mi-fi connects to the internet (3G or 4G) and shows that my devices are connected to it.  However, I cannot get on the internet.
    1)  I have three different devices - two laptops and a smartphone.  All three have the same problem.
    2)  I have a Sprint Mi-Fi that I use for a different business.  All three devices can and do connect to that device and work properly on the internet during the same sessions in which they cannot connect on the Verizon JetPack.  So it is not the devices I am trying to connect with.
    3)  The exact same thing has happened several times over the course of about 4 days and in two cities and two states - all three devices unable to connect via JetPack but connect fine through Sprint Mi-Fi.  So it is not location or local network issue.
    4)  LED display on JetPack, in all instances, show a strong 3G or 4G (depending on where I am) signal and also that all three devices are connected.
    5)  Message on laptop wireless area shows connection but says "no internet access".
    6)  Under the wireless status or details, it says (on the list of info):  "IPv4  no internet access" and "IPv6 no internet access".
    7)  I have done a battery pull with no effect.
    8)  I have done a factory reset (power up, remove cover, press reset button until long green light and short green light) with no effect.
    9)  After both battery pull and factory reset, I still show connected to 3G, all three devices connected, no internet access, and all three devices then work on the Sprint mi-fi.
    10)  Symptoms started about 4 days ago and have not changed since - it is not a come-and-go problem.  It is not working at any time.
    I am hoping to gosh to avoid a long ordeal with tech-support at Verizon.  This is a company-issued device, so I could ask my company to take it up with Verizon, but I work remotely and access to the IT department is not that simple either.  thought I would see if I am missing something simple.  I hope I've given enough info for someone brighter than myself here can spot something I could do.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Thank you for your response.  I am having trouble logging back into this site to respond (I never created a User ID and don't know my cell phone number as it is a mi-fi and not a cell).  I reregisterd for the forums only under a slight ID variation and will continue to do so for this dialog.  Thanks very much.
    The back of the Jetpack says SSID: "MiFI4620L Jetpack 89B4".   I am currently using the device (since the problems began last week) in zip codes 49504 and 49503 - same symptom both places.
    Thanks again.

  • Can any one help with poor LTE connection with new iPad?

    I wrote yesterday about my new iPad 4g LTE. I have it in Verizon and I am using it from home which is only 3G Verizon coverage. Often, ( like every minute), it will lose all ability to use the cellular connection. I will then have to wait for about another minute for the service to come back. Is this a Verizon issue or the iPad itself?
    Also, went thru  a 4g area while on the interstate and would completely lose connection around corners, etc. can the iPad not use 3G towers and 4g towers back and forth? Really upset about this! Anyone else having this issue? Help!

    If I restore as new without the backup & everything seems to be fine, I assume I would then have to restore it from my latest backup in iTunes in order to get all (or at least most) of my data back.
    From what I have read, it looks like at least the music I have on my iPhone 4S that I put there from a CD I own would not be in my backup.  That is not a major problem, since it is only 1 CD.
    It also seems like the iTunes backup is more complete than the iCloud backup (I do have both).
    So, I should probably be restoring from that backup.
    Is there anything else that is not backed up in an iTunes backup that I should consider before I do that?
    When I backup in iTunes (or even in iCloud), some items not backed up?
    Wouldn't I then have to re-install those items that are not in my backups?
    I have a Medical app from my local ambulance operator where I have taken a ton of time to input all of my medical information going back numerous years.  I just got tired of some medical person constantly asking me for information one never really makes a point of remembering.  Now, I have all of that information in my iPhone 4S.
    There is no way I would want to reinstall that app & re-input all of that information again.
    I also put a lot of "lists" in the Notes area on my iPhone 4S.
    I understand that is also something that is not backed up.
    These are just 2 examples.
    I also have other items that I am under the impression also are not backed up.
    Losing any of that information would be a huge burden to recover.
    I am willing to take a chance with some items that are not backed up to either iTunes nor iCloud.
    But, knowlingly doing something that may lose that information is not something I am willing to do.
    OR, am I just not understanding what is and is not backed up in iTunes or iCloud & what I could potentially lose?

  • Little to no LTE connection inside Disneyland

    I just recently switched to Verizon from Sprint. I can't complain much about the service except when I'm inside Disneyland. I was waiting outside in a line for a ride and decided to surf the web to kill time but the data was so slow! My phone showed 2-3 bars of LTE but I couldn't load any webpages on my iPhone 6. When I ran the Speedtest app, the results are very disappointing at 1 mbps for download and .59 mbps for upload. Please note that I was outdoors and this perhaps could be attributed to many people being on the network at once. What does Verizon plan to do to increase the data capacity so traffic on the LTE network does not come to a crawl? Seems like the data service is great when not a lot of people are on it but when a lot of people use it, the network capacity can't handle the demand.

    Have you tried resetting your network settings on the iPhone?  It would be Settings >General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.  I had this problem with my iPhone 5 and this seemed to fix it.  Also, I'm a Comcast customer.  They have these wireless gateways (modem/router in one) that had known issues with iOS devices having poor connections.  I had this problem too so swapped it for a standalone modem and bought a standalone router.  It doesn't sound like it's a router issue though if it's not happening with any devices other than your iPhone.
