I have had Straight Talk for over 7 years (with 3 totally different phone types) & always had amazing data service. Early 2018 I purchased a new phone through Smart Pay (via Walmart/Straight Talk). Instead of transferring the sim card (same size, etc.) to my new phone, they sent me a new sim card. The new phone is a Samsung S8. Since the beginning and currently 9 months later I have extremely poor data connectivity while in & around my home. I have enquired about this countless times through ST. They checked the service area for my address and there is excellent coverage. I live in a small city that is not congested, my closest neighbor is 1/2 an acre away. Also, around midnight (give or take 30 min) I have great data service for 2-3 hours.
Does anyone have any idea as to what is the problem & how to clear it up? The only thing that has helped my sanity is tapping into the wifi of a store in close proximity to me, but I have to stay outside to use it.
