Carrier iPhone 7 Plus "No Service" (VZW)

I signed up for Beta program and I cannot get Safari on my iPhone to log in to download page. I give my Apple ID & password and it just hangs after that.

Anyone have an idea as to what I am doing wrong?

i remember those days.

in my (uneducated) opinion, this seems to be a software issue since the fix is to shut off "Voice & Data" which fixes the issue. I figure that the verizon "advanced LTE" network is having issues with indicating roaming neighbors as indicated from some of the older posts on this thread.

Making a giant assumption here... here my hypothesis.

- The carrier can dictate which LTE bands are used for. Thus, can dictate that VoLTE can be on bands 21, 22 and 23 (random numbers). And can indicate that LTE data only bands be 30, 31 and 32.
- bands 21, 22 and 23 are the new "Advanced LTE" bands, and are having software issues on Verizon's end - particularly with the ability to transmit system data as noted in some prior threads with forum users who are posting data from their phones.
- The reason switching to LTE Data only works, is because 30,31 and 32 are working fine and don't have the same issue as the new "advanced LTE" bands.

I'll admit I do have a very very rudimentary background in radio trunking technology, please don't crucify me.

I just received a text from Verizon stating my ticket has been closed and the issue has been resolved.

I've been following this since the beginning. I've been experiencing the same dropped signals as everyone here. Let me first start off I live in Manhattan NY. I just spent 24 hrs in the suburbs of Milwaukee Wi. I was at a meeting in an auditorium on a lower level of a corporate complex. Not once had the signal dropped. Even in the car rides. Something has to be up in the NYC area. When I land it will be interesting to see how the signal reacts

After landing at LGA airport i turned on my phone ( Verizon 128gb black)and the signal was good (LTE 4 dots)as the plane was taxing to the gate. I walked through the Delta terminal to the car pick up area at the and right there my signal goes out then bounces to 3G. I turned airplane mode on and off and LTE came on with 2 dots. I get into the car and start the drive back into Manhattan then the signal goes to 1X then 3G. Turrned airplane mode on and off and LTE pops up. Stopped at the local market to pick up dinner the signal drops to 3G. After that I switched from LTE Data/Voice to just LTE Data. LTE signal is now strong with 4 dots for the past hour.

They tried to auto close my Verizon ticket too via an automated call, but I selected an option to keep it open. Did you miss a call from them?

Put zero stock in that. Verizon did the same with me and it turned out the ticket they created was about data signal strength in my neighborhood and has nothing whatsoever to do with the phone. This issue won't be fixed until an announcement is made and/or an update is pushed out.

Exactly. They closed my crap out awhile ago stating they checked the network in my area and found nothing wrong with the equipment. I opted to speak with a rep and explained it wasn't just a bad service complaint and more technical so they kept it open.

This happens to me frequently when my phone (Verizon 7) is stationary both at home at work. My older iPhone never had any issue maintaining LTE in the exact same spots I typically leave it.

My phone is still eligible for return/exchange until Friday. I'm torn about what to do, especially since I already exchanged it once for a yellow screen. I could exchange again and hope for the best or return and repurchase after an official acknowledgement or solution has been announced. For those who can still return/exchange, what do you plan on doing (or what would you do if you could still return/exchange)?

I was skeptical about this beta but the carrier update has done something. My signal is staying strong and hasn't dropped yet. This was with a drive to the grocery store. The drive to work tomorrow will be the real test.

Same, upgraded to beta 2 with some hesitation to do so. Few trips close to home were good... but will report after tomorrow.

Tempted to downgrade back, just to know when they actually push a fix for this. My recollection says they usually have 4-5 betas for minor version updates. However, I cant imagine they would wait all that time for this fix.
 
So if the beta seems to be good for everyone over time, should we report that to Apple?
 
This thread is filled with so many people that are like "I just tried xyz fix and it's been working great for the last 2 hours!". Lol. Totally useless info considering I've had less than 3 drops in the last week.

However, it does sound more and more like the Beta 2 may contain the fix! Will take a few more days to confirm this for sure, unless Apple makes a statement before then. Looking forward to getting resolved soon

Been sitting at 3 dots of LTE all day. Every time I toggle LTE voice/data my LTE signal jumps back to full 5 dots, almost like it refreshes the tower signal. But I'm sure it will dwindle down like always.

Bummer...just got back in the country after a few weeks and was hoping this was fixed. Hopefully beta 2 works.
