so this is my third replacement for this phone. changed out sims a total of 6 times. I've been very patient with verizon even though data would drop so much that viewing the net was next to impossible....to tether was even worse. the store i went to today said they had a bad batch of sims cards so that means 3 of the sims card they had me try were bad smh...no sooner did I walk out the door that I noticed no 3g/4g. knowing I wasn't going to get any where by walking back in the store...i chose to call tech support. the woman who helped me was attentive and again when thru the same steps i did countless times before..FINALLY a breakthru she admitted that verizon was aware of the connection issue the moto was having with this particular phone and because of the inconvience and patience i am able to pick the phone of my choosing less the iphone or very newest of phones. ultimately i knew this would be the end result and instead of getting pissy i let my patience lead to this. (thank God) it has been very frustrating. Question what phone should i get anyone who reads this please leave a suggestion thanks
