Verizon Coverage in Northern NJ

Up until 6 or 7 months ago I would have a full signal on my phone now I am lucky to get 1 or 2 bars and it's very slow. I have placed several calls with Verizon and have received not received a return call. I am really getting fed up with Verizon. If I have to pay thru the nose I expect better service and support. Is anyone else having this issue? Also I am unable to find any info on today's update 10-16 on the website.

Thank you

Let's get to the bottom of this PENNANTFEVER! Are you having signal issues in a specific area (indoors only) and is the phone responding slow while doing anything specific? What zip code are you located in? Are you referring to a device software update? If you have the Galaxy S4 please view details here http://vz.to/17yB0RO Please share additional details so I may further assist. If a resolution ticket was already submitted please accept my follow request, follow me and send me a private message with your mobile number. Thank you.

I have been a verizon customer since 1997 and never had any signal issues. I have lived at the same address for over 10 years and always had full signal until now. I get 1 maybe 2 bars outside and this has happened within the last few months. I dont know what change verizon has made but it is bad. My battery drains much faster than normal because the phone is searching for signal indoors. I have missed several calls also because of this. This is going on with my other phones also which are on Verizon. I am unable to use my phone to its potential because of this. I have trouble streaming video also because of the poor bandwidth and signal.  I pay for 4glte and I am stuck in 1990 and pay a lot of money for services I all of a sudden cannot use. Feel free to call me ..ty

Look to the right of this thread, toward the top, under Actions.  Under 'Report Abuse', does it say 'Stop e-mail notifications'?  If so, click on it and the e-mails from this thread should stop (you'll need to do this on every thread you've marked to receive e-mail notices from).  Does it say 'Receive e-mail notifications'?  If so, then go to the top of the screen and click the drop-down next to your user name.  Click on Preferences.  Change your e-mail notifications to your choosing, then press Save at the bottom.  This should remove e-mail notifications from all threads.  Customer Service nor this forum's Administrator can make these changes for you, only the user can change their e-mail preferences.

Thank you PENNANTFEVER. I looked at that area and I see you should have great 4G service. Do all of your phones have the same issue? Does this happen in a specific location, or in the entire area? Do you notice a pattern of where or when this is happening? Do you have better service anywhere in that zip code?

Thank you,

I like how Verizon totally missed my post about no coverage in SF. Nice.

Well I don't have great coverage and I am waiting for someone to get back to me. I am really frustrated. Verizon is

overwhelmed look at all these posts for poor coverage. You are not being honest with us. Verizon has a network issue and they are not coming clean. To have them since 1997 and living in the same home for 10 years without an issue and now this. They say it's because of all the leaves on the trees. I have news for you it's FALL and the leaves are on my lawn not the trees and I still have the same crappy signal. Own up Verizon you added way to many people to your network and that is why it's taking a dump. I pay the extra money for your reliability but it's not there anymore. Do the right thing come clean Verizon!

Set me FREE!

Same here in San Francisco. Same exact timeframe too. 6-7 months ago my coverage was golden. As of today I have ZERO 4G and ZERO 3G coverage and I'm in the same spot I have been for the last few years. Makes NO sense.

Let's get you back to the golden service you are used to, roserama87. I'm sure this is frustrating. Do you lose the data in certain areas? Have we been able to troubleshoot with you any time during the past 6-7 months when this began?

I called verizon a few times and I am being told that I am not in a good area for a signal. I was for 10 years I never moved. I get one person telling me I am in a poor area another person tell me I am in a good signal area. Which is it? This is happening with all my phones. I am really frustrated I miss calls my battery drains because my phone is trying to get signal

....really really frustrated
