s21 ultra 5g not connecting to 5g

[moshah]

I upgraded to the s21 ultra 5g, however I am not getting a 5g connection no matter what I do.  Seems stuck on 4g. 

My wife upgraded to an iPhone 12, and she's getting 5g sitting right next to me. So I know 5g is available. 

Things I've tried: Factory reset, network connection reset, airplane mode on/off. 

I'm in Northern Virginia, 20147 near ashburn farm parkway/hemingway drive. About 3 miles from Verizon headquarters!!

Hi, Moshah. Congrats on your new Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G! I understand you're having trouble getting 5G on your device & want to help. Thanks for sharing the troubleshooting steps you've already taken. Are you using a previously activated SIM card or the SIM card that came with your new 5G device? When you navigate to Settings > connections > mobile networks > how do you have your network mode set? Is data roaming toggled on?

Yes, I'm using the SIM card that came with the device,. For network mode it's set to "Automatic"

How was this resolved?  I have the same issue, same phone, same circumstances.

klowetx, help is right here! We don't want you to miss out on our 5G connection. Have you always had trouble with connecting to 5G or has this been a recent issue? Do you have the most updated software on your phone? Are you able to connect to 4G? AliciaD_VZW

I would also like to know how this was resolved. Purchased the S21 Ultra 3 days ago and had my plan upgraded to a 5g plan.  Still nothing.  Was told to go to settings, connections, data usage and made sure the mobile date was on, and it is.  Still no 5g.  Yet, my daughters S21+ has 5g around the house.  

Luckily I have a 14 day return option on the phone, and will most likely return the phone as I paid for a 5g phone and expected to get 5g considering my daughter gets it on her phone which is also with a verizon plan.

I have the same issue in phoenix... they claim its a bad pocket...but thats not my problem and they dont do squat about it besides trying to get ME TO BUY MORE THINGS. Instead of giving me the correct service they promised and sold me to begin with.
