Using Verizon LTE on iPhone 5 breaks iMessage

[thiswho]

Yep, same thing happening to me. It's fine on WiFi, but if i'm on LTE, it'll work for a while and then stop, but the internet will work fine. Just iMessage. Is there any solution yet? Has either Apple or Verizon claimed responsibility? I really don't want to have to do a DFU restore if it's for no reason.

Try these steps if you have not:
Reset network settings
Reset all settings
Restore phone as new


Contact Verizon & Apple and have them research your issue, you should not have to troubleshoot an issue like this yourself.

I did all of the suggested instructions but to no avail. A complete reset did NOT even fix the issue.

In the same boat. Have tried *all* these things. I'm betting, from reading this thread, that it is a Verizon network problem. Whether that can be fixed through the phone with another carrier update or if Verizon needs to make a change on their end is unknown.

Definitely not a hardware issue. It is a carrier issue.

If I am in a spotty LTE coverage area, it will cut me off while it goes to 3G. In this time period, whatever I am streaming or viewing stops working.
