kolelguy Well, glad you got it working. The hidden menu method fix I suggested may only apply if the account/SIM/device doesn't already have CDMA-less provisioning properly enabled. So indeed the rep could have fixed it as well.
Furthermore, for anyone else having signal and/or MMS/SMS issues on a Verizon MVNO, I just stumbled on something potentially useful. Not too long ago, I used to be able to choose between 3G and 3G/4G auto via the normal settings menu (however, forcing 4G/LTE only was never an option here). Anyway, this "System Select" menu option now seems to be missing for me, even after a factory reset. I'm guessing my account/SIM was automatically updated at some point not long ago for CDMA-less provisioning, either that or the phone finally recognized the change, after a recent factory reset, hence the now missing setting.
This may be a good way to check whether an account/SIM has CDMA-less provisioning working under a Verizon MVNO with this phone. So to walk through. Under "Settings > Wireless & networks > Cellular networks" if you see don't see "System Select" you probably have CDMA-less provisioning already. However, if you do see "System Select" you probably need to contact your provider and have them enable CDMA-less provisioning. If this fails, you can of course try the hidden menu method I previously suggested.
Regardless, personally, even with my account now seemly having CDMA-less provisioning. I'm going to leave it set to "LTE" in the hidden menu anyway, just to be safe.
Lastly, I'm guessing the hidden menu fix/workaround may also apply to other providers with defunct 2G/3G (GSM/UMTS/HSPA) networks as well, assuming the phone is still trying to connect to those defunct networks, instead of just LTE. Not sure if a similar GSM and/or UMTS-less type provisioning is available with "GSM" providers.
whynot Thanks for the tip, fixed.

Flippy did this work for you as well?

chaimzalman Didn't try this yet ( I dont have a phone with an issue currently). But definitely sounds like he is on to something that makes sense. Helpful because when you understand the problem that's half the solution.

chaimzalman Have you checked your APN settings?
The only other thing I could suggest is to check if the software version is up-to-date (L125DL10h should be latest). Or try a factory reset. I had a strange Wi-Fi password issue that was only solved with a factory reset. Furthermore, a factory reset via the hidden menu should be more thorough than via the normal settings menu. However, if your phone has already been unlocked make sure you still have the unlock codes for it, as they may well need to be reentered if factory reset is done via the hidden menu.
P.S. On the final screen in the hidden menu, you'll see the label "Factory Reset (R&D Only)" to differentiate it from a normal factory reset.
