I have a local tower that sending the wrong time zone to phones that is set to auto set with the towers. It is happening with a number of Verizon based devices in this area. I am no where near a time zone change here in western Iowa. In my opinion, it could issues for truck loggers, and automatic based systems that uses Verizon towers for time sync, and people that does not know that this should not happen in this area. So I am trying to get this fixed, but Verizon seems like they don't care. I tried to report this tower to Verizon, but Verizon wants Verizon account to report it. Since I am on a Verizon MVNO, I can't report it. Verizon tells me contact my carrier for them to fix it, but my carrier said they can't do anything since they have no control over the towers or it's beyond their scope of support to fix this issue.
So I went into the local Verizon store, but it sounds like they did not know this was happening too. Then it sounds like they were not too worried too. So I don't know if they reported it or not.
Here is what is happening in this area, and it is example too. If you are driving down the road at about 4:20AM and you get to this area, your phone switches to 3:20AM. Then a few miles/minutes later, you are back to 4:30AM. So I went into troubleshooting mode. From what I see from my troubleshooting, this tower is sending out mountain time zone and not central time zone in western Iowa. I was using a number of family and friend's phones. It is only affecting Verizon based phones. It is happening with a Samsung Galaxy S9+, a Samsung Galaxy J7 Sky Pro S727VL, a Samsung Galaxy J7 Crown S767VL, an Alcatel MyFlip A405DL, and even a Moto Z2 Force. It is even affecting phones that is not activated, too. All of these phones was set to automatic time, too.
