A:AnswerThe Verizon-specific version does as it has the "UW" (ultra-wideband) designation. For comparison, an unlocked version or one from another carrier would Verizon's "Nationwide 5G" but not the "5G Ultra-wideband" network.
A:AnswerNo. This is a Verizon promotion that does not say it, but locks you into a 2 year contract. If you want to pay off the Verizon contract, they will bill you the balance of the list price minus your payments. Take the deal.
A:AnswerThere is no home button on the lock screen. You have to unlock it first. I haven't found a way to put anything additional on the lock screen, other than the regular features (email, message, etc.).
A:AnswerI purchased the phone about a month ago on Verizon service and have had 0 issues concerning your question. I've even been in a few spots that 5G came through. At no point have I seen anything that gave 2G service and for the most part had 4G pretty much continuous. Maybe contact your provider to clarify. Hope this helps.
