5G not working on Samsung Note 20 Ultra 5G

I have had this phone for 3 days and cannot get 5G to work.  I have been with Verizon since 2007 and my phone of choice has been Samsung since the Note 3.  Yes, I made sure it is a 5G phone. Yes, I upgraded my plan to 5G. Yes, I checked the coverage area to make sure my area is covered. I have spoken with tech support 3 times and each experience was different. 1st tech was great and for 30 secs I had 5G then it was gone.  The second tech needs a lot of customer service training and should not be interacting with customers until that training is complete.  I gave up on the 3rd tech after waiting for 40 mins without a response.   So if anyone has had this problem and figured out how to fix it please let me know.  I have done all of the basics and I am out of ideas.  Phone was purchased through Verizon.

We are sorry to hear about your recent service issues and experience. With regard to your device issues and service connection we would be more than happy to review this more. With regard to your device do you see the 5G service bar at the top of your phone?

No, I don't see the 5G bar and I am in a 5G area.  The other phones on my line are with me and all have the 5G bar.

Hello there ktothagee. We can understand wanting to be able to experience all that 5G has to offer. It is concerning to hear that you are having some trouble too but we are here to help. Are you having trouble getting 5G service everywhere or just in certain locations that you know should have a 5G signal? How is the 4G functioning on your device?

5G is limited to certain areas.  5G isn't available across the country yet for Verizon.  Your phone is ready for 5G so when it is available you will automatically be able to connect.  I was told we didn't have it here where I live yet I connect in certain parts of the city.  Be patient.  Hopefully they'll get it up and working soon.  COVID isn't helping any.

5G is Verizon Day Dream which never came true at least for now! If Verizon can aquire C Band Spectrum from auction then you see some improvement in end of 2022
