Well since it's under the 14 Day return policy.. i would return it and Try another one It could be possibly the Sim Card sometime you can't rule them out And you have to watch how you handle them but there main purpose is Getting the phone the 4G signal so it having issues is Wi-Fi i would go with another one.. b33 Smiley Happy

Take it to your nearest Verizon store and see if they can get those things to work.  Of they cant then its time for an exchange.
