  Oh yeah.  That's the stuff ... Thanks @Bil.  I found a strong 5G signal in the parking lot of Applebee's on Route 101A (Amherst St.) in Nashua, NH. - Dave ... View more

Thanks Bill!  Good advice. Since I'm in the "sticks" (NH), once I drive into a solid red area, will my phone automatically switch over to a 5G band if it already has a solid LTE+ band locked 'n loaded?  Or should I pull over, go into Airplane Mode, then reestablish my connection to the mobile data network? - Dave ...

Thanks for the reply. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 512GB (GS21), model number SM-G998U1, which is 5G-capable.  I also received a brand new 5G nano SIM card, with "5G" written all over it, FedEx'ed to me by Verizon, which was very nice of them.  So I think those two checkboxes are checked.  The plan I'm on is called "Do More Unlimited 5G UW", so that also feels 5G-capable. If I continue to not be able to light up the "5G" status icon on my phone, I'll bring it to my friendly, local Verizon store and have them check everything out. - Dave ... View more

I pre-ordered and received an unlocked GS21 Ultra 512GB, and replaced an existing phone on my existing Verizon plan.  As soon as the network recognized the new phone, it sent me to a website to upgrade my SIM for free (quite nice of the Evil Wireless Empire). I've since been on a quest to light up my 5G network icon in the upper right corner of the phone.  According to Verizon's maps: https://www.verizon.com/coverage-map/ I've driven up and down major roads near my house that, in theory, are covered by what they call "5G Nationwide" (the slower, reliable one), yet have never seen the "5G" icon light up on my phone. Can someone share with me/us a screen cap of the 5G light lit up?  And are there any tricks to getting 5G to work on the Verizon network using an unlocked GS21 Ultra with a Verizon 5G SIM installed? Thanks! - Dave ... View more
