About Verizon
Verizon is the largest carrier in the US with over 120 million subscribers in the country. They offer the best coverage among other carriers in the US, and demand a premium of $5 to $15 over its competitors.
Verizon 5G plans starts from $35 a month and goes up to $55 a month that includes various add-ons such as hulu, Disney+, ESPN+, Apple Arcade or Google Play Pass and Apple Music.
Verizon is a traditional wireless carrier with history going way back, and that is one of the reasons it is still the largest carrier in the US, even though they cannot match the pricing on many MVNO carriers in the US.
Conclusion: Verizon APN Settings
If you have correctly changed or edited the Verizon APN settings to the ones given on this page, your issues should be resolved. But if you are still facing issues as before, that might mean you’re having a bad SIM card and it is time to request a new replacement SIM card from Verizon (a duplicate one, keeping the same number). It would also mean that your phone might not be compatible with Verizon, but it is a rare thing as most phones sold in the US are compatible with Verizon.
