Yes, LTE fixed that issue a long time ago. iPhone 6/6+ was when that became a reality on the iPhone. Anywhere you have LTE on Verizon, you are good. If you're in an Extended 1X area, not so good, but that's rare and you usually only see that in rural areas. Nonetheless it's something to consider if you live or work somewhere where Verizon's network isn't LTE for you.
