Why is there still no coverage in major portions of West Viirginia

When I go on vacation in West Virginia, it seems like significant areas still don’t have verizon wireless coverage. My iPhone 7 either goes to no service or switches to roaming and 1x network which it about useless. It’s been like this for years, very frustrating.

We always want our customers to have service where they need it the most. We are here to help you.

Please be aware that much of West Virginia has less coverage due to the terrain, as well as a portion of the National Radio Quiet Zone being in that state.

What zip code are you located at where you are having this issue at?

26855 zip code, but generally in the area around Seneca Rocks, Cabins, and Petersburg, WV its always roaming and 1X.

I‘m pretty sure It’s outside of the radio free zone for the radio telescopes.

W Virginia is always going to be a hard place to cover for any carrier. It's very mountainous. And not very populated.

Thank you for the details we want to provide you with the correct information regarding our service, it shows that inthose areas the signal is limited. While our engineers regularly evaluate network coverage and performance to identify locations that may require additional coverage, cell site construction and Verizon Wireless' specific network expansion plans, locations, and timetables are considered proprietary and confidential. As new towers are being set up you can review our map coverage on our website: https://www.verizonwireless.com/featured/better-matters/?map=4glte#maps

There are a lot of DC area folks who weekend out in Hardy and Grant counties in WV. The lack of Verizon service has caused many of them to leave the carrier for other wireless options who do provide reliable data service in the area.
