Thanks for doing this. I ordered a white PM 256 on 10/11 so maybe we are getting close.

Looks like my phone finally shipped. 15 PM White 256GB ordered on Sept 15th. Was originally supposed to ship on Oct 6th but was delayed. Now it finally ships, and I'm on FREAKIN' VACATION. Requires a signature, so I guess it'll end up going back to Verizon anyway... :(

Just got a shipping notification as well! Black 256GB Pro Max, ordered on 10/2. Looks like things are finally picking up with Verizon! Took them a while!

Try to have it diverted to either a UPS or FedEx location for pick up.

UPS won't let me do that, and I've been on hold with Verizon for like an hour while they try to figure out if it's something they can do. Ugh....

*UPDATE* Verizon and UPS got together and determined that neither of them can update the delivery date or hold the delivery. So most likely my phone will go back to Verizon and the order will be cancelled. Lame AF. :/

Sorry that sucks. I used to be able to request that I pick up the phone at the nearest UPS hub. I guess they wont allow that anymore? Which is crazy since you dont know when your phone is shipping so how can you plan on being home on any particular random day when they decide to ship it? Has to be a better way.

did you try calling/talking to the nearest UPS hub? this is where the package is dispatched and you maybe able to talk to someone to hold it there off the books.

Cancelled order for missing delivery? Don’t they just try to deliver the following day?

I think Verizon is turning on more bandwidth because speeds have dramatically increased where I am the past week. I've never had anything over 1gbps. I know it's unnecessary, but these speeds are crazy

Verizon is installing 2 rooftop antennas in my neighborhood near my house and I can't wait for them to turn them on, reception sucks near my house. The signal is always under -100 dBms. The wireless infrastructure is so outdated here because there's lots of paranoia about radiation from 5G and 4G. But parents have been having trouble calling their kids after school, so they're sucking it up for the most part now.

what's your vzw plan? I have Unlimited Welcome, on speedtest.net I'm at 140+ mb/sec, while on fast.com I'm barely 2mb/sec. I live in Orange, CA.

Very disappointed to say the least..

I’m on the old Play more unlimited my other line is on the unlimited ultimate plan. I did not expect to get those speeds and that’s on my old iPhone 13 PM.

Back home in my smaller city we also have 5G UW but the highest speeds I’ve ever gotten were around 800mbps but usually around 200-300. My neighborhood is more rural they just upgraded the towers here. I’m not blown away but things are working better overall. I’d say my result was the exception not the rule unfortunately.

so there really is a speed distinction on the speeds depending on the plan? I was on the retention plan and to get the 15PM upgrade I needed to switch to unlimited welcome and the speed seem the same... 🙃

I don’t think there is a difference. As long as the plan receives the UW signal you should get similar speeds. The only thing I know is the 15s modem is supposedly faster than the 13.
Also I think the basic welcome unlimited plans aren’t prioritized. Do you get 5G UW on your phone? On the old welcome plans they didn’t even include that but I think the new plan does.

wait, is that through Visible (connection type says Visible)? that is pretty good.
Unlimited Plus
Yep. They had a deal, 6 months for $35. I had an awful experience with them earlier in the year and switched to T-Mobile, then they started making some policy changes I didn't like, so I gave Visible another chance. And I'm glad I did, no issues so far. But your mileage may vary. On top of that I got an Apple Watch plan for only $5/month.

The speeds were consistent too, I did 5 tests in a row and they were all over 1,200 MBPS

Yeah Visible is pretty good for the money.

Out for delivery. Also noticed I had new discounts applied to my lines. Awesome deal for two lines with phones now. Any one getting a loyalty discount stacked with the temporary loyalty promo ? Seems to have worked for me. Took about 3 weeks for the discount to appear.

I almost thought that $10 for 12 months wasn’t going to apply to my acct it took around 3 weeks to show up. I love how Verizon allows these discounts to stack. Awesome you got them too! If you have two lines or more you can ask about that $25 being upped to $30 or $40. Mine started out as a $20 discount and within a year I was able to snag a $40 discount. Hopefully they can hook you up with something similar.
