Why do I have"No service" with 4G LTE in system tray?

[TYLER2626]

Attempted to make a phone call today and there is no ringing/dial tone. When a call is started it is silent and drops the call about 5 seconds later. The Verizon store tried several things and then gave me a new SIM card and tried again. Eventually I was told I was basically "S-O-L" (obviously in a more PC manner) and would need to factory reset or need a new phone.

So far I've also tried...

1. Swapping preferred networks from Global to LTE; going into and out of airplane mode.
2. Factory resetting the device.
3. Wiping the partition cache from the boot loader.
4. Uninstalling the service pack.
5. Booting into Safe Mode.
6. and following the troubleshooting plan in its entirety from Verizon for "no service".

The system tray shows 4G LTE with 3-4 bars of signal; the 4G LTE is dark grey vice white. When pulled down the normal "Verizon Wireless" says "No service". My network in options shows VZW with -99 dBm on LTE. However, as soon as I try to place a call it's silent and the service bars drop to none lit and eventually the phone shows the no service symbol in the system tray and I have to go into airplane mode and back to reset it.

I'm at a loss...

Apparently there is an outage in my area that only affects voice calls. Mobile data, etc. still works. Will update once I get confirmation of service restoration.
