Did you activate it before you put all your stuff from iCloud on it?

Call Verizon.  If I recall, someone else posted about having skipped a step or something when setting up their phone.  Verizon was able to help fix it.

My is still out for delivery, so I can't help much except from memory when I activated our iPhone 5 two years ago.

Hello cknox!

I'd love to help get your new phone up and running! Are you getting an error message when trying to dial out? Are you able to access internet on the cellular network?

Thanks,

I activated two new iPhone 6's today, both times I ended up having to call in to get them activated properly. I was able to restore all my settings from the cloud ok, just could not get them activated automatically. Had to wait on hold a bit, but both times once I got someone on the phone they got them activated quickly with no problems.

If you're upgrading from anoyhr iPhone try swapping the SIM cards to see if that helps.
