iPhone 5 time and date issues

So, I activated my vzw iPhone5 Saturday. Very much enjoying it. Woke up yesterday and was very confused because my phone thought it was 8/26/12 and 30 minutes later than the actual time. I reset network settings and it self resolved...until this morning. I woke up and looked at my phone and had a melt down because my alarm never went off. I hurriedly got ready and looked at the microwave as I ran out, and it was 30 minutes earlier than my iPhone said.

My iPhone apparently is doing something weird and reverting to 8/26/12 + 30 minutes while I (and it) sleep. It throws off iMessage and I'm sure the rest of the date/time dependent apps, so I've turned off the automatic time setting for now, and its fine now (so far lol). But I would like to know what the real issue is if possible!?! Is it my phone? VZW? Does it matter?

Thanks in advance :0)

I've tried that. I've restarted, reset, airplane, turned off LTE, changed the phone name, nothing works.

I'm not sure if I'm doing this right, but I wanted to post that I'm having the same problem… except mine changes to random time and dates. Is there a button for Posting rather than Reply?

I have T-Mobile and the problem still happens. But it is not exactly like yours. Mine puts any random date of the year and time of the day. It is so annoying.
