[Nexus 6  General] The Closet Candian:
Verizon Booted me from the Network

4 Months ago I moved to Big Red with my N6.

The signal wasn't as strong as my other Verizon devices which I found odd. I lived about 2 miles away from a Verizon tower and on this device I was only connected 45-50% of the time while at home.

After the first 3 weeks I was still frustrated with the poor signal and I read online everyone cried foul on Google(or Motorola), so forced a PRL update to see if that would fix the issue:

I lost LTE connectivity.

I was connected to 3G but I had no service.

I re entered the APN, nothing.

I took the SIM out put it back in, nothing.

I read online that someone else had a similar issue with the Nexus 6 on Verizon and the only way to resolve the issue was to replace the SIM and that's what I did, LTE service was restored.

About 2 weeks ago I moved about a mile further away from my nearest Verizon tower, so I'm about 3 miles away from a Verizon tower and 80-85% of the time at home I'm not connected.

Today:

Around 3 PM I was in the city and my LTE was fine, I had bars, I had a signal, nothing had changed on my end but I was unable to send text messages, I kept getting this message "Can't send message with CARD 1 error 98" And when I spoke with my sister she said she had been trying to call me for the last 3 hours.

So I contacted Verizon and asked if there was an outage in my area, they said no so I went on to explain the issue(s), and I was told by the customer service rep that my phone wasn't making a connection to the Verizon network, they couldn't see my phone and I needed tech support. Which made sense because of the poor signal all of the time.

So I called Verizon tech support. And the service rep said that I need to enable roaming by entering

*22898

This did not fix my issue but maybe it could benefit someone else on Big Red.

I told them the error code and Tech support said we need to check if your phone has dual SIM, I said no it is a Nexus 6 it does not have a second SIM slot I don't care what the error message said. Then I was directed to another tech rep and he said "your phone is NOT a Verizon Nexus 6 and we cannot find it on our network, your phone will not activate on our network, your IMEI is not available to activate on our network" I said wait a minute. I understand the whole FCC ruling and months ago this was suppose to be resolved(I read the post here on XDA). I went online activated the phone when I moved my Nexus 6 over to Verizon, it shows up as a Non Verizon Nexus 6. It allowed me to activate it. It took the IMEI and now they are telling me, NOT ANY MORE!?

I was transferred to a supervisor. He said the same thing, he said he would try to reset everything for my phone but still poor signal and still I have no idea what calls or messages I'm missing and a few text messages are not being sent. I'm on call 24/7 but it looks like I'm going to have to go back to AT&T or T-Mobile.

I believe the poor signal issue is not only Google but also Verizon is still keeping us off the network for the most part and only allowing us to piggyback the rest of the time. Maybe I'm wrong but I hope my 3 hours wasted helps someone else with a similar experience.

I thought I also read somewhere that T-Mobile shut off Band 12. Seriously what the hell is going on with these carriers.
