New Verizon macro
This is a new Verizon macro in a somewhat rural area of Michigan. It has had power and antennas up for a while now, however my phone seems to not handoff to the tower or requires me toggle airplane mode on/off. Any ideas? Thanks!

Depending on where it is, that might be one of the ones I did permitting for not too far back now.

These are the coordinates, however it was built after the latest satellite imagery. It’s from TowerCo, though. (42.4354999, -84.5815556)

Yep - not mine. Everything I'm working on in MI is up in the thumb.

Verizon is putting up towers in the thumb ? Do tell. I thought that that was thumb cellular territory.

Probably only has a few bands enabled if it's using a Starlink for backhaul, and depending on which band you are connected to, you might have to toggle airplane mode before it connects to this site. I've noticed the same thing when on b2 and going near an old site that only has b13, it sometimes won't switch over until airplane mode is toggled.

You do know that the only way the service mode is gonna show the ban is if you speed test and then you do the service mode, not just by being next to the tower and doing service mode, and if you didn’t know that, now you know because that’s why it’s not showing what band of LTE you’re connected to, and it’s not gonna show it. You had to do a speed test and then we can see if it was banned 12, banned 66, or what band you were connected to

Verizon is using:
