Status bar constantly saying "Extended"

So this happens several times a day and is very frustrating. I'll be doing something with my verizon iphone and I lose my voice connection, where is usually says Verizon, it says "extended" and eventually goes to "no service". I live in an area with a very good network and never had this problem with my droid.
I also lose all 3g connection as well, it still allows me to use wifi but that is obvious. So i've talked to Verizon, and Apple, and am on my third phone now, still having the issue and i'm convinced it has to be something software related. I'm hoping it will be fixed when the next ios update for verizon comes out.

I've tried every form of troubleshooting, rebooting, turning on/off airplane mode, resetting network settings, completely restoring phone, and more. Is anyone else experiencing this? or heard of others going through this?

To be honest these are the solutions that may or may not work.

First thing I would try is rebooting the phone by holding the sleep/wake button and home button for 15 seconds until you see the white apple logo.

If that doesn't work I would restore from backup. If that doesn't work I would restore as new. If all else fails take it to your closest apple store they may replace the phone for a working one..
