Signal dropout.

72110 area code, random 4g signal dropout to 3g and then to no signal then back to 4g all while my phone is still and in a location that I usually have a strong signal. Within 2 miles of a supposed Verizon tower that was completed almost 2 years ago and has never been turned on.

@origdroiduser ,

 

We'd always want to know if you're having some sort of signal trouble. As the zip code you shared covers a large area, including an airport in the area, what is the nearest intersection and city where this is happening? How far from the area do you need to go before your signal improves? You also mentioned a cell tower that is 2 miles away. Where are you seeing that this is a Verizon cell tower? How do you know that it is not turned on?

Sorry for the length of this but this is easiest way to lay this out. This is within the city limits of Morrilton, AR. According to antennasearch.com there is a tower located on Carruther's Hill. As far as I can tell this is the main tower for Morrilton.

This is just to the south of Morrilton, you have this tower that is so close that I should be getting a full signal, that as far as I can tell has never been turned on.

    There is also a tower located just north of Morrilton that when I talked to Verizon's tech support doesn't show in their system.
