Upon receiving my iPhone 12 Pro, I called and receive the 5G Sim card from Verizon and installed in my new phone, and activated it. I’m currently on unlimited plan with 5G nationwide, but I have not received any 5G icon visible in the upper right hand corner of the screen, LTE only. I’ve driven around the area and still no 5G icon just LTE. Am I not supposed see the 5G icon? I’ve toggled Cellular data options to 5G On or 5G auto and I never receive the icon. I also turn airplane mode on been off again and still nothing.
located in Florida in-between Clearwater, Saint Petersburg and Tampa if that helps
I have the same issue. According to the coverage map I should get 5g nationwide which my plan offers. I wonder if Verizon turned on 5g in my plan.
I’ve tried to call Verizon a couple times and the wait time is incredible, specially the weekend. Never got through and in fact they hung up on me once while I was on hold. Perhaps I should go down to the corporate office one of these days.
The Verizon map shows that I’m in the nationwide 5G area but I have learned that it may not mean much. Marketing hype I guess.

pwr261, we understand the importance of having 5G. May we ask what ZIP code you are in?
34698 is my zip. Dunedin, Florida
iphone pro 12 60018 right by ohare international airport. It seems to be a Verizon apple thing with their 5G network. No status bar either and im with the play more plan. Rep at Verizon told me an update was supposedly coming to fix this issue. That what they said not me. The first post is from November and no fix yikes !. Let's go verizon let's go . get that 5g rolling.
That is, indeed, correct! Apple will be rolling out an update to their newest devices shortly that will allow access to true 5G and 5GUW networks. 5G will be nationwide, and 5G UW will be every where you go before you know it. If you have any questions that we can assist you with in the meantime, please let us know. We are always happy to assist in any way that we can!

will there be an update for the 5g on the pixel 5? im not seeing 5g in my status bar and im in a 5g nation wide area. Speeds are 4g
After having it for couple days . I do notice the 5 g status bar when I’m away from my house . Inside the house it’s 4g status bar . If you go near a shopping center you’ll noticed it right away 5g.
That sounds accurate...at least for my area. Although at my house I have 5G (very low bars but it was the same with LTE) and most areas around my city show 5G but I can go to a few spots and it switches to LTE. My whole city supposedly has 5G but as I've noticed with every type of service over the years there will always be spots in areas that claim to have it yet for whatever reason even outside it doesn't. I'm in a city but not one where skyscrapers or lots of tall buildings play a part in signal issues...and honestly I was surprised 5G in any real capacity was in the majority of my city (not a knock on Verizon...just that I live in a "Consolidated Government " city so...change can be extremely slow in my area lol.
Verizon is currently experiencing a wireless network issue in your area. Our technicians are aware of this and are working to resolve it quickly.

sandibeach, I am sending you a Private Note.
I don't have the 5g icon as well. When I go to the verizon store were I purchased the phone all the displays said 5g on them. Iphone mini, pro and pro max. The 12 will not display it. I to;d them that I don't want it then because I wann know that I have 5g when 5g comes
Hello jerryalbertelli,
Getting a new phone is always exciting. You can use this link to check on the coverage area near you: https://www.verizon.com/coverage-map/ Please note, service inside of a building will be different than out side. Which model of iPhone 12 do you currently have? What zip code are you in? What signal is your phone showing at the top?

Try turning off wifi. My wifi icon was covering up the 5g icon. When I turned off wifi the 5g icon showed up.
I live farther south...just past Venice in Florida. Research says it's not available yet
