So, I'm not in my home service area at the moment... can I just walk into a Verizon store wherever and get a new SIM right away?
Yes. A sim card is also one of the rare free things @ Verizon. Good luck.

It is really odd. Some people havent experienced any issues until a few days ago, others, for a few months and others have no problem. Cant imagine the latest update is the problem because it should be messing up every phone. Wonder if Verizon is rolling out updates to their 4G towers that is causing the issues and the updates have not reached every market? As for me, the only issue I have is losing 4G at home at times where at best I get 1 to 2 bars. This also has happened to my 3G phones too. Otherwise, i dont lose my data connection and I have had the phone for 45 days. Also I noticed this is not being discussed in the Razr thread, just here in the MAXX thread. I have also noticed it too over at another Razr forum. Just being discussed in the MAXX forum. Wonder if this just a Maxx issue?

From all the internet posts about this problem, I am pretty much convinced this is a Razr Maxx problem, and doesn't affect the Razr. Something in the design of the Maxx, or defective LTE chips may be the problem.
I have seen my 4G icon turn white, but I do not lose data connection. It works whether it is white or blue. Blue is suppose to mean it is connected to google services. The only time I lose data is when the 4G or 3G icon disappears. As long as it shows one or the other, data works no matter what color it is.
i'm thinking the same thing, inasmuch as it doesn't seem to be effecting other phones on this network. my son's bionic, and a friends 'regular' razr are not having these problems.
but again, why has this just started (for most of us that are having the problem) in the past few weeks?
I had the issue basically from the start when we got our Maxx's in Feb, but it didn't happen all that often. My wife got her phone at the same time and rarely had the issue, even if we sitting beside each other and I had lost data.
My phone go worse after the last update, but my wife still didn't have the issue all that often (I updated hers the same day as mine). In the past week or just over her phone has started having the issue all the time - she even went about 2 days solid without every connecting to data at all.
Been having this issue last few weeks too. Just an FYI but I installed the latest ICS leak (.210) about an hour ago and have had no more problems with my data dropping, the 4G icon has stayed blue the whole time. I will continue to monitor it tonight and tomorrow and update how its going.
After reading all these comments I can safely say its not my phone. Just replaced my sim card and downloaded the Restore Connectivity Settings app. Data drops have stopped for now..
oh just give it a few mins.....lol
i think everyone of us that's tried that has had momentary success, only to have the original problem return. but maybe (hopefully) it'll fix your particular phone.
my brand new THIRD razr maxx arrived a just few hours ago, and sure enough...IT will NOT hold a connection either.
so...i'm about as convinced as i could be that the problem is/was not my particular phone(s), but something to do with many/all Maxx's, or the software, or Verizon's 4g, or.....
