Coverage on Verizon network that is not on Visable

I travel to Young, Arizona. The Verizon map shows 4G coverage and "partner" coverage. Visable's map says there is no service there. How can that be when there is a cell tower in the town running the Verizon netwok?

Do you have roaming enabled on your phone?

Roam At No Cost

Roaming is free with any Visible plan!

”Roaming happens when you’re traveling in remote areas within the US, and you end up automatically using another service provider’s network. While roaming speeds can be reduced to 2G.”

To add to what GreenSub said as long as roaming is enabled on your phone Visible has what is called domestic roaming so it will use other network towers when a Verizon tower is not available. It is possible the Visible map may not be up to date. Verizon owns Visible and uses there towers so if there is Verizon coverage there should be coverage on Visible and it may only be 4G LTE depending on the area.
