No signal iPhone 7 plus

I Was able to find an iPhone 7 plus black, worked well all day went to sleep and next morning no cell signal actual message was No Service. Tried resetting network services, remove the SIM card, resetting the phone. Tried same sim in another phone and it works. Seems to be a similar,at issue to those with the airplane mode issue. Now there is no stock of the phone I want and I'm stuck with a dead paper weigh. Any ideas?

This is definetely a frustrating issue. I didn't have to do any resets to stop the problem. Turning off VoLTE stopped the behavior in my phone and many others on the forum. Did you try that? Settings -> Cellular -> Cellular Data Options -> Enable LTE -> Data Only. I spoke to Verizon Tier 2 support yesterday and they said Verizon is working on a fix with Apple Engineers so soon I hope this will be over and we'll all be able to turn VoLTE back on.

Adding my piece to the forum. I of course have the same problem (I live in Maryland). The first couple of days my phone worked perfectly and now I lose service randomly through out the day.


1. I pay TOO much money to Verizon to lose service so consistently.


I've lost service on the way to work, in my home, in the mall 4-5 stores from the Apple store. I haven't been able to duplicate it on my own but in areas where I typically have full bars and service I've had 2-3 bars and it spends a lot of time toggling between 3G and LTE.


I've talked to several people who live in VA, and TX who are experiencing the same issue (with both the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus). Heading to the Apple store today as I have called AppleCare twice and they "haven't heard of this issue."

I called the Tier 2 tech number as suggested on page 2 of this thread. Here is what I learned:


1. Verizon is completely aware of the issue and has a Verizon internal forum (moderated and used by technicians) that has listed all the issues and customer complaints since the phone was released. (Still call if you are having the issue)


2. The temporary fix in the Verizon internal forum is to toggle data/voice roaming on and off.


3. Verizon has submitted network tickets to assess whether it's a network issue and all tests have come back normal and showing no outages


4. Verizon has an open ticket with Apple (Apple would not provide a ticket number) to assess if the issue is hardware related (antenna bands) or software related (10.0.2).


5. Some iPhone 7's are having this issue and some are not and the representative said I could take a chance with getting it replaced with the understanding that the same issue can occur (as mentioned in previous posts).


6. Verizon is working on it.

Yes I have no intention of getting my phone replaced unless a recall is issued or the Verizon and Apple Engineers are unable to resolve the problem. I am waiting for a carrier settings update and/or iOS update to fix this.


Everyone having the issue should contact Verizon at the number mentioned in earlier posts (copied again below for convenience). Pushing the issue helps.
