Did you try calling and get your sim reprovisoned? I think that's what they call it. Nothing more frustrating than having a brand new phone that can't make a clear phone call.I've had about 2 to 3 bars occasionally 1. But no one ever complained that I was breaking up. Everyone I talked to yesterday complained I was breaking up.
Found the problem with the poor cell reception. Wifi calling. We switched to a satellite ISP (HUGHES NET) in June and that's when we started having problems with people hearing us (we were breaking up) although we generally could hear them. Going outside would help. Turned off wifi calling and now even though we only have 1-2 bars we can make and receive calls inside our house (or cabin) loud and clear.
At&t
Is it just me or is the signal horrible? I have one tiny bar and have already dropped 3 calls
On AT&T wifi calling turns of and off based on the strength and quality of the network. I don't like that I just can't pick one or the other or both. Only way around it is to turn on airplane mode and then enable wi-fi.Thanks for sharing, and glad it fixed your issue. I also have Wifi calling on. But in the settings for it, it says "Use Wi-Fi when mobile network is not available.". So I'm surprised yours was kicking in if you had any kind of mobile connection. Maybe it also uses wifi when it sees the mobile network is weak?
Overall, on Verizon, the signal on my N8 is notably stronger than it was on my S7E or Nexus 6P.
