If you are in Nigeria with nigerian simcard then missing mobile data service probably has nothing to do with VZW hotline stuff.

There can be several reasons, e.g. lack of network coverage for mobile data, while gsm phone and text service is working.
Also wrong apn settings for the nigarian carrier and/or different radio bands there for data.

Do you have some people around you with:
1. a simcard from the same nigerian carrier with mobile data working at the same place? If so try to add their apn settings to your note.
2. having a mobile phone (not a Note 7) got from a carrrier in the US with mobile data working? Just to clarify for radio bands working there at all.

First: I move topic to the correct forum now.

If you answer please don't make a new post for every 1 or 2 sentences, as this could be confusing to read.

To clarify, what is your exact phone model, a Verizon SM-N930V?
What is your firmware now, as you wrote you did a reflash? And what firmware did you have before?

I have the same problem with my phone (note 7).I can make calls and use wi-fi . When I try to use outside network and getting a message: error Internet disconnected
Second message is : sim card is not from Verizon wireless. I am using Belgium network "BASE " and I am able to make calls, that's why I'm a little bit confused why I can not have Internet.
So far I know Note 7 on Verizon network was unlocked phone.
Why this happened? And can you guys help?

What about your apn settings?
Seems that you have to add apn for 'BASE' network.
Call the base customer service for correct settings or maybe you know someone there with BASE too, to look at the apn.
