Ok so I'd love to be proven wrong, so i need some people with Verizon unlimited data plans with 4g lte phones, preferably in the NJ area, but if not it's ok. this is an experiment.
out of nowhere, my phone would not receive any push notifications when on LTE. it'd a moto x pure edition that's worked fine from day 1 in Sept and all of a sudden stopped two days ago. when I'd connect to wifi, i'd get tons of notifications at once, even notifications for stuff I already manually checked and was done with hours ago.
i swapped Sims into my Verizon note 4 and guess what? exact same issue. it's not the phone it's gotta be the network or my line.
verizon was useless to help as usual. they suggested a new sim, and since I used a sim cutter to cut my old sim, i figured it couldn't hurt. nope, that didn't help.
i decided to mess with APN settings next. I switched from the standard ipv4/ipv6 to just ipv4 and guess what? it works PERFECTLY now.
what I didn't mention was everyone I know who lives near me had no issues.. thing is, they didn't have unlimited data. they're all tiered. why me? why my plan? why just me and my two phones which are completely different phones?
it got me thinking.. is verizon intentionally messing with unlimited data plans to make people switch over? I mean, unless you're on xda like us, youd never even think to switch the Internet protocol setting! and we sure as hell know that no verizon customer service person would ever have any clue to do that either.
so please, people with unlimited plans, how are your push notifications? are certain apps not loading? let's test this theory. I'd love to be wrong seeing as i'm now paying 20 more a month for this plan.
thanks!
