@MrT10001 i didnt realize they were exclusively volte, but it is what it is. still, im getting NO service in any consistent manner. i would expect it to at least show thats its connected to a network, but it doesnt stay connected when i get it to do so

Hey all. Not sure right now if this is a sim card, install, or skill issue.

Just bought a brand new in box (probably actually Google refurb) pixel 3a, unlocked. I got UT installed without too much fuss and have been messing with the phone.

Later in the day, I put the sim card in when I assumed excess battery drain was the phone searching for signal despite not having anywhere to look. Verizon instantly popped on. A few hours later, I was messing with the phone and noticed no more cell signal. I decided to not care.

This morning, still no signal, so I messed around with turning on and off flight mode, manually selecting the carrier, and changing the radio to use. I got service again and then a minute later it disappeared.

Anyone have ideas? I may stop by the Verzion store to get a 4g sim, as mine is 5g, but works fine in my 4g flip phone.
