I think it's not so much as it's 3g only, as it is the LTE (4G) signal does not cover as many miles as the 3g signal will when coming from the same tower. In my hunting area there is one tower that can be picked up. The LTE signal comes and goes as I walk around, but it always resorts to 3G when the LTE signal fades. This distance limitation is a direct result of the technology.

As we progress from one "G" to another "G", each transition results is less coverage. There are still areas in the mountainous parts of the PNW, in which we previously had coverage with analog (1G), and have never gotten coverage back. This reduced coverage distance is going to only get worse as they transition to 5G.

They call it progress, but I'd take my old analog 3 watt bag phone back in a heart beat.

 

You do realize that Verizon will be shutting down their entire CDMA network on Dec 31st, right? It's been in the works since 2016.

Here we go....... again....
