FULL bars -- Drop Call-- NO bars -- FULL bars ahhhhhh

So I bought this 8gb iphone thinking it was the greatest thing since sliced bread (and it is, when it wants to be) and then I start getting this sequence of "FULL bars --> Drop Call--> NO bars --> FULL bars" I went to Apple store and they said it was an ATT network problem. SO I went to ATT and they said you need a new SIM card and after that whole riggim and role, it still does this dropping a call when I have full bars and then after it says call failed it will drop to 0 bars and then jump right back up to FULL bars all in a matter of 3 seconds. So who's the problem here?

I'm in San Francisco, and have plenty-o-service at my office (and most places, in fact) - five bars just about everywhere except for my home, which is obscured by a hill and other houses.
Anyhow, the same problems you report started the afternoon I did the 1.1.3 update. Nary a dropped call before that update. It's really irritating, as I use it for my work phone - especially on conference calls.
Say 'hi' to Boston for me! My wife and I just moved from Boston to San Francisco in September...
Until the next update, I think we might just be stuck with this... Apple has been dropping the ball in regards to quality-of-software lately, as a video editor, I can just say that there have been many, many issues with 'busted' pro-apps post-leopard. Tisk Tisk!

    My iphone 4 Carrier signal is very weak just shows one bar and often shows No Service followed by searching and again one signal bar I have had a lot of drop calls, I have tested the sim card on my Samsung Ace which shows full Signal strength I am on the latest iphone firmware 5.1.1 with 4.12.01 baseband I have tried resetting the iphone did o full restore twice. I guess there is something wrong with the iphone hardware? Has anyone had similar issues and how they fixed it?

    Take the device to Apple or an Apple authorized service center and let them check it out.

  • IPhone dropping calls even when it had bars

    My I phone4 is constantly hanging up or dropping calls in the middle of a conversation. Is there a way to fix this issue?

    Well, for some reason I have trouble on rare occasions with one particular person I talk to. What makes it even weirder, it happens with both their landline and his cell phone which he says are on different networks (T-Mobile and Verizon, I think). When it acts up, I can lose the call several times in just a few minutes.
    I took my phone into the apple store to have them check. They said it didn't show any dropped calls which, they said, meant it had to be a problem with the other network.
    That may be true, but it could also be an excuse. I've yet to have this happen when talking to anyone else though.
    Another possibility is that you have the proximity sensor problem. Since I saw you only posted once, you may not be familiar with it but, in short, the screen can come on, even when against your ear and if the screen is on, your cheek can activate buttons, including the one to end the call! You could also get muting, speaker phone, even calling someone else!
    There are tons of discussions about it here and arguments over what the cause is (one thread is 90 pages long and it was a continuation of two previous very long threads!).
    Check what version of the operating system you have. The original was 4.0. The next update (4.0.1) basically just changed the signal bar calculations with the result that they are more accurate, but will give fewer bars for the same signal on 4.0.
    Next came 4.1 which did something to change the sensor issue. It worked for some, not for others, and some said it made it worse! But, in general, it seemed to increase the power to the sensor and I'd say helped more people than it hurt.
    The latest version (4.2.1) didn't say anything about changes in sensor operation, but I know from my tests they definitely changed something.
    As before, some say it got worse or didn't change - but I've only seen a handful who said that so it may be nothing more than the amount of problems that seem to happen with any update going out to millions of people. A larger number have said it finally fixed theirs.
    Those are the two main things I'd look for - a problem that only happens with certain calls, especially if on a particular network. And the possible proximity sensor problem.
    One thing you can do to check the sensor is to go to your settings and turn the screen brightness to max (probably turning off the automatic option). I found that when the screen came on, I could miss it at the usual setting, but on bright, it got my attention. This also depends on how you hold it. If against your cheek, it may not make any difference since you'd be covering the screen up.
    There is a app for 99 cents called "Call Guard". After starting a call, you run the app and it gives a blank screen so you can't activate any buttons. You can still hang up by pressing the top button or by pressing the home button to quit the app and then going back to the phone app to hang up.
    But one really nice thing about the app is that when active, it marks and numbers every time your face touches the screen (if the screen ever comes on). So you could use this for awhile and check after each call to see if there were any touches. If not, the problem probably isn't the sensor.

  • Very poor coverage - just got an iphone 5s - typically 1-2 bars.  Dropped calls when I switch rooms.  Right in the middle of Palo Alto/Stanford area - zip code 94305

    Crazy - never had any issues with AT&T - thinking about going back.....  Brand new iphone 5S. I've reset the network, disabled and enabled imessaging. Any thoughts?

        Kent,
    We do not want to see you go. Thank you for all the troubleshooting you have done thus far. I do not see any service alerts in your area. Do you only have issues inside your home with dropped calls? Do you also have issues with data and text? Are you connected to Wifi in your home?

  • Excessive dropped calls with full signal!!!

    I have a 3GS and have updated to 3.1.2 I recall that one of the items addressed in this update was the dropped calls issue. Mine have been severely worse since the update. It is quite aggravating when the calls dropped are when I have full signal. I am not the only one I know with this particular issue. Is this being addressed?

    The phone on the iphone is not the best. I live in Dallas and when the phone is on 3g it really is unusable. Just for grins I started a call log for a day. In my very unscientific experiment I dropped (or couldn't hear the person and had to call back) 76.6% of my calls when I 3g for the day. In my opinion, Apple or no Apple, this is unacceptable for any cell phone. I tried calling ATT to see if I could get some credit and they said no. I have taken the phone to the apple store and they said it was the network not the phone. I have restored the phone, reset the phone, updated the phone, and still nothing seems to work.
    However, when the phone is in 2g it seems to work fine. Except the only problem with that is when you are searching the net, or checking email and someone calls you it won't ring. This a mild annoyance because at least when I do call or someone calls me I can talk to them and they can hear me.
    The iphone is the worst cell phone on the market and best pocket computer you can buy.
    You decide.

  • 2.1 update and still dropping calls

    Just loaded the 2.1 again. Had a full signal for about 3 minutes and then went back to no signal and dropped call. As soon as i finished the call the phone flutated back to full signal. I can leave the phone in the same place and watch the signal bar go up and down like a yo yo.
    Back to the drawing board for Apple i feel. Think its time to return the phone not fit for purpose and get the nokia back out of the cupboard.

    The first thing I would suggest trying is to delete and re-pair the iPhone with your CRV system. (Unless of course, "...restored the system..." means you already did this?) After that, assuming the problem is not cleared, I would perform a test and take a look at the iPhone screen during an incoming call. I'm curious if the display has the CRV selected as source audio.

  • Everyone having issues with i4s:Activation issues,dropped calls,no SMS,no Network...read this for a temp fix!

    All,
    for all the users out there that have issues with thier new i4s having:
    dropped calls
    no SMS
    no Network
    Activation Issues
    MultiSIM issues
    etc.
    You guys must DISABLE your SIM PIN!
    I know this is not the best thing to do, but until Apple fixes this, this is the only solution right now!
    -> Settings
    ->Phone
    -> Disable SIM PIN
    ...done...
    Cheers

    Truth of the matter is ATT was not ready for this. I was ready to turn in my 3G
    and go back to my old iPhone when a tech rep at Apple told me to turn off
    3G. I went from full bars at home to only one when 3G was on and all of my
    calls were getting dropped. After the rep told me this I replied, "excuse me?
    You mean the reason I bought the new iPhone, so I can talk and email at the
    same time on the 3G network, is not even doable yet?" He replied that they've
    been telling customers to turn off the 3G and then the phone would work fine -
    which it did. Now I just keep it on the edge network and hope that one day the
    3G network will be up to speed and I live in LA! So give it a shot and turn off 3G.
    Thanks ATT!

  • Note 4 dropped calls and reception issues

    I am becoming increasingly frustrated with my note 4 to the point of looking at switching to a different phone and even provider. Since getting this phone I have had nothing but issues with inconsistent and unreliable phone coverage. The phone will be in 4G coverage with full bars of service and still cut in and out and drop calls. I cannot even begin to mark the locations for you because it does it everywhere. When I took the phone back to the store I was told it was not an issue with the phone that I must have been un areas with poor coverage. I find this hard to believe when I had no problems with my previous phone. My previous phone was a Samsung Galaxy s4. The only reason I got rid of it was because the charging port stopped working.

    The phone is under a year old and still under warranty. Contact both Samsung and AT&T warranty department and figure out the best way to get a replacement phone. Im hoping Samsung will send you a new phone, ATT sends a refurbished, like new device.

  • Nokia Lumia 710 Dropping Calls

    My lumia 710 seems to randomly drop calls for no particular reason, even when I have full bars on my signal, I did read someware on the Internet that its happened to others with the Lumia 710 and there
    is a fix being worked on for this problem.
    Just wondering if any of you guys have any info on this problem being software related or could it
    be a hardware problem?

    I've had the 710 for about 3 weeks now and found the signal to be poor compared to my N8 and the 5230.
    I live in an area which isn' great for signal.
    LG and HTC phones can't even pick up a 3G signal. The Blackberry I had about 2 years ago could get 3G intermittently.
    This is why i returned to Nokia - purely for the signal. I first had the 5230 which had a full 3G and 2G signal, then the N8 which was almost as good, but the 710's signal is very poor by comparison - typically between 1 to 3 bars on 3G, sometimes switching to 2G giving about half to 3/4 signal. The problem this is causing is short drop-outs (can't hear the caller for about a second) about every 30 seconds so I'm constantly having to ask people to repeat themselves. I run my own business and this is what the phone is mostly used for - I feel it's very unprofessional to keep saying 'what' or 'could you repeat that' several times per call (it's also annoying).
    Could anyone tell me if the 800 has a better signal because I don't mind buying one and selling the 710 if that's the case.
    If that's not the case then I'll have to either go back to the N8 or get a SE (SE are the only phones I found that seem to get close to Nokia N8/5230 signal). I don't like Sony and I don't like android but I can'tput up with this poor signal on the 710.

  • MicroCell Dropped Calls

    If by failing you mean the light panel going dark and then coming back that is either related to sporadic power outages, either house wiring from the outlet, a failing ac adapter, or the MicroCell itself is having issues with its power board. Even during an update by AT&T, which happens on occassion and usually late at night, the power will blink out momentarily and then the unit will reset itself if that's required for the update to take.
    I wouldn't place the MicroCell in direct sunlight. It does generate some heat and the added extra heat from an external source is not good for it overtime. They should have plenty of ventilation around them. Mine sits about 6" away from a North facing window so it gets light in the summertime but not direct sunlight. In fact, all of my MicroCells have been in the same location.
    If by failing you mean losing connection to your phones I sill say it has something to do with your setup. Did you see my post about the pfSense configurations?

    The Problem is dropped calls using ATT MicroCell.  Sometimes we look at the MicroCell when we experience a problem and all or some of the lights are off, then slowly coming back to green.  But that is not always the case, sometimes calls drop and the MicroCell shows no changes in the lights.  Without the MicroCell we get a signal range from 0 to 4 bars on our iPhones (4s and 5s) that varies by time of day and location in the house.  Neither phone is more or less impacted and we drop every other call or more when that call is longer than about 5 minutes.  The MicroCell is the older type with the antenna connector (which is not used). History: - Installed MicroCell in 2012, At time time we had UVerse and it was connected directly to the UVerse device.  ATT indicated that our local cell tower was getting overloaded during rush hour (it is located near a major highway) and reducing power in order to shed users.  Since we live some distance away we would just lose our service, it seems we had no other tower to go to.  The situation was elevated to a special case of some sort, a bunch of network analysis was run over a few weeks, and then we were essentially given a MicroCell.  The MicroCell always dropped calls, no matter where it was located, but it was better than no service at all during rush hour and I assumed that it was the bad UVerse service. - In 2014, after experiencing a lot of problems with UVerse reliability, we switched to Comcast, which was 20% cheaper and 5 to 8 times the speed and much lower packet loss.  As part of this change we installed our own Zoom modem 5341J and a pfSense certified firewall (dumped our older SonicWall).  We reconnected the MicroCell and got about the same performance with respect to dropped calls.   Today: - Recently, after reading a bunch of posts here, I relocated the MicroCell from the basement upstairs and near a window in an attempt to reduce the dropped calls.  Has not helped.  We've rotated the MicroCell 90 degrees, and moved it around to no avail.  The MicroCell is currently hardwired wired as MicroCell -> HP Procurve 1810 Switch -> Netgate pfSense Certified Firewall -> Zoom Modem.  WiFi endpoint is currently about 6 feet away (but was more than 20 ft away before the MicroCell was moved). Our house was built for us in 2011 and contains all new CAT 6 wiring which the MicroCell uses.  We have changed the wiring runs, switch ports, etc. to no avail. We have 59.45 Mbps upload, 5.98 Mbps download, 45 ms latency, 7 ms jitter according to www.att.com/speedtest on Sunday morning Aug 9, 2015 at 8:58 CST.  For the speed test the laptop was hardwired to the HP Switch.  This seems consistent with our firewall logs that shows WAN latency of 9 ms to the first hop and no packet loss around the same time.  Prior to Saturday our WAN latency was around 2 ms, but seems to have jumped up over the weekend. I can provide full quality and traffic graphs going back to December 2014. To date we have not been able to correlate dropped calls to local traffic or quality anomalies. We do not show any consistent packet loss to the first hop. In the last 24 hours packet loss had a maximum of 0.4%, average of 0.0%, and minimum of 0.0% and in the last 8 hours 0.0% min, max, average.  Our switch shows zero errors on our LAN. - The Question?  How do I make our cell phone service more reliable?  Having previously designed and managed network services and being an amateur radio operator I have some fundamental understanding of potential problems.  Which probably makes me the worst type of customer to have to support, since it means I am not very accepting of the standard, “Do you have it plugged in?” questions. What I lack is a good understanding of the MicroCell and what in detail is happening when our calls drop, even after reading the on-line MicroCell guide by OttoPylot and FAQs by ATT. I do not have my firewall inbound ports open, I have no problem opening them if I was given a domain where requests should come from, but the docs (ATT Firewall recommendations) just say open’em up baby and thats not going to happen.  The docs don’t give any reason for having NTP port inbound open.  In this day and age, and in this security environment just opening up 5 inbound ports from any source around the globe seems less than professional.  Plus I get a pretty consistent but low number of random blocked requests inbound to the firewall (someone is searching for something). It makes no sense, based on what I know today, that a MicroCell using a secure tunnel would need inbound ports open.  All inbound communications should use the secure tunnel, but I may not know the complete story. The other difference is that the interfaces on the firewall are set to automatic MTU size.  Both sides of the firewall generally show MTU of 1500. I’ve tried 1492 and it did not seem to make a difference so they are set back to automatic. Now if someone has some technical information that explains why any of the above should be changed, then I would be happy to evaluate it.  But the problem does not seem to be configuration, since it works some of the time.  It appears that the problem is reliability.  My firewall and switch are commercial quality, the MicroCell and cable modem are consumer quality. How do I figure out a solution without spending hours on the phone with a customer support person that thinks my IQ is 5?  Now that all of our cell phone contracts are done in September, this reliability problem will feature significantly in our decision to continue with ATT after 25 years. 

  • Rezound Dropping Calls

    Okay, I've had the HTC Rezound for about 10 months now and have had pretty smooth sailing with it.  However, lately there's been a huge problems.  Sporadically over the past few months my phone has been dropping calls.  I'll be chatting with someone for about 20-30 minutes and all of a sudden, without me moving, the person will start to break up and then BEEP the call is dropped.  Previously, a battery/sim pull would improve things, however today it has not.  I've tried switching it from 3G/4G to just 3G, I've reseated the battery and SIM, no good.  I really am trying to avoid a reset, just tried calling Tech Support but they are in the middle of a computer update and can't help me right now.  My phone shows 3G and full bars and is having no problem with data connectivity.  Also I live in the middle of town so I'm not in a weak signal area at all.  Anyone have any thoughts?
    Thank you!
    Casey

    Yes, this has been a recent problem for me as well here in Los Angeles. I have had my Rezound for 4 months and upgraded to ICS in August.
    I can no longer keep a call without it dropping in my apartment. Lately from my apartment my phone has 2 signal bars before a call, then drops to 1 bar during the call, then zero and drops out completely. This has been happening since September and I have never had this problem before. I thought I was the only customer experiencing this. Either this is a ICS issue or the phone's antenna is flawed.

  • 4.3.2 iPhone upgrade and dropped calls.

    Since upgrading to the 4.3.2 OS three days ago, I've been experiencing numerous dropped calls on the order of one every minute.  Calls linger in limbo before connecting and then drop.  Antena signal reads 3 bars.  I'm missing calls too.  I live in the same area and have NEVER had a problem with dropped calls until this update and it is really causing problems.  Why?  Is the phone failing?  Is this an update problem?  Is this a network problem?  Is anyone else experiencing this?

    I am experiencing the same issue here in Germany, Network is T-Mobile.
    Since upgrade to 4.3.2 I have dropped calls regularly with my iPhone4!!
    This is getting more and more annoying.
    What happens is: I am starting a call or am receiving a call. The call stays up for 1-5 minutes. During that time (randomly differs from 30 seconds to 5 minutes) all of a sudden the person on the other side does not hear me anymore! I am still able to hear him/her! After around 5-10 seconds after that happening, the connection is lost/cancelled. This is happening independently of the amount of bars, meaning it does not matter whether I am having 5, 3 or just one bar.
    Please Apple solve this!! I cannot use my phone anymore the way it is supposed to work! Never had this issue before the upgrade in the same places - in fact, before the upgrade, I did not experience ANY dropped call whatsoever!!
    BTW: I tried reboot, reset of all settings, backup, etc. - no positive effect.

  • Repeated dropped calls...again :-(

    Lately, I've been experiencing a high number of dropped calls. I have had this happen in the past, and the agent asked me to call (I believe) *52-but seeing as though I have forgotten the * code, I didn't want to do anything else to further jeopardize my service. But service has been getting worse lately with all the dropped calls, on 2 of 2 lines I have. And , sometimes, when I get through, (separate issue lately) either I can hear the other party good and they cant hear me or vice versa and yes, I have tried restarting the phones as I was told to do when I first brought this to Verizon's' attention; but that seems to be only a quick fix. Yesterday, during a conversation with my mother, the call was lost. I looked at the screen and it said no signal, then no sim, them 5 of 5 bars, all within seconds.

    I would start by visiting a VZW corporate store and getting them to change your SIM card.

  • IPhone 5 drops calls as fast as my confidence in Verizon

    I've been a happy Verizon wireless subscriber for roughly the past 7 years. I've always had LG flip phones, and in that time have had perhaps 2 dropped calls. In July 2013, I upgraded to an Apple iPhone 5 16GB in black. As each day passes, and my iPhone 5 drops more and more calls, my regret about the poor choice I made in accepting Verizon's offer to upgrade, exponentially increases.
    I live in the same home as I did with all of my LG flip phones that performed flawlessly on the Verizon Network. Never was there a dropped phone call. I transmitted a great deal of data via text and picture messaging with out any significant or frequent slowdowns in speed. I never had problems in the timely receipt of my incoming texts. When I turn on either of my old LG phones and place them next to my Apple iPhone 5, they all match, showing 2 or 3 bars of service and LTE.
    Conversely, my regrettable, disappointing, and obviously flawed Apple iPhone 5 does outperform all others when it comes to call dropping dependability. I can count on my iPhone to drop 100% of the incoming and outgoing calls, 100% of the time in my bedroom and in my home office. The rest of my home is about a 70/30 crap shoot in favor of it eventually dropping the call where none were ever dropped in the prior 7 years of my Verizon service using LG phones. People will send me text messages over the span of hours, or a day, and they appear to stack up somewhere until I receive an incoming phone call which pushes all of them through at the same moment as the phone begins to ring. Never had that problem before. People will phone me, and I never hear my phone ring or receive a missed call notification. Hours later my iPhone will suddenly go off with the voice mail notification, all the while between showing 2 or 3 bars of reception when I check the phone wondering why expected calls haven't called me, yet. Short of having to walk outside, trying to have a voice conversation on my iPhone 5 reminds me of the old days, and the family having to get into those awkward "TV viewing positions" and holding old style TV antennas and aluminum foil just to get a favorite station to come in better. Thanks to my Apple iPhone 5, I have to do the same "assume the position" when trying to send any picture or large data files.
    No, I do not have a case on, or around my phone.
    Yes, I keep my iPhone 5 in the same indoor locations that worked well for LG, and have looked for other "convenient" places to locate them for potentially better reception, with no luck.
    I am located in zip code 98663.
    The 4G coverage map indicates my location is deep within Verizon's  "supposed" coverage area.
    I've done the recent IOS 7.0.4 software upgrade, and I think it got worse afterwards, if possible.
    All 3 roaming functions are enabled.
    I've tested the device in multiple places in and out of the house. It does NOT drop calls outside and data is faster, HOWEVER the iPhone continues to register the same 2 or 3 bars of reception outside as it does inside, including LTE.
    I do not power cycle daily, but I do power cycle often.
    I have tried resetting the Network Settings in the past.
    When others are in my home and are serviced by Sprint and AT&T and others, I can use their non-Apple, non-Verizon, phones, and have ZERO DROPPED CALLS indoors.
    I've been told I need one of those $250 network extenders. HAHAHAHA!!! Never had one problem in 7 years in the same house on the Verizon wireless network prior to my poor decision to accept Verizon's upgrade offer. Why, exactly, is it my responsibility to pay $250 to fix a problem that has clearly resulted from either a phone that is lacking in quality that Verizon (ironically?) "upgraded" me to into, a wireless network that is inadequately designed in my area to be compatible with some of the products Verizon sells, or both. 
    This whole nightmare has severely diminished my confidence in Verizon's commitments to both quality and customer care. I sincerely hope that this plea for help from Verizon will bring an acceptable resolution and restoration of my confidence that Verizon is still willing to defend it's once good reputation, and is the wireless provider that I should be proud to be a member of, for the rest of my life. Hate to jump ship, but if there is no loyalty towards customers, why stay?
    Thank you.

    KinquanaH_VZw:
    Thank you for the reply to my concerns.
    I have not had a trouble ticket created over this problem. Since the iPhone 5 continuously drops calls, I have not tried to call *611 from it due to the long hold times. Early on, I made several attempts from my land line to call the 800-922-0204 number for customer service. After holding for up to 20 minutes on different days of the week and at different times of the day and never reaching an agent I became frustrated and chose to live with the problem, realizing that Verizon would be of no help to me. When I finally became disgusted with the call dropping, and related poor reception issues, I decided to research the problem, read what others had experienced, how they coped, what  problems they specifically reported,  how they communicated their problems, how they were treated by Verizon, and finally what solutions were offered by Verizon, and the ability of those solutions to improve the problem to the satisfaction of the complaining/unhappy customers.
    From what I was able to dig up, it appeared that replacing the iPhone was successful in satisfying the customers issues with call dropping less than 10% of the time. Statistically speaking, I felt that replacing one iPhone for another would be a waste of my time. Besides, if I can't get through to customer service on the phone, requesting a replacement is the least of my concerns.
    You mention some other things that can affect service:
    -Location of tower - Lived in same home for almost 50 years. Unless you moved the tower the day I activated my iPhone and deactivated my LG Chocolate (which received flawless reception in my home). I doubt that is the problem.
    -Building structure - Again lived here for almost 50 years. It has not changed since the LG had flawless reception and the iPhone has been less than satisfactory.
    -Weather - In the 4 years with the LG Chocolate we had about every type of weather that is typical for this region, and never a problem. In the 6 months I've had the iPhone, the weather here has been pretty consistent and good and there is no noticeable difference to the constant call dropping.
    -Tower congestion - Admittedly there were consistent blocks of time Monday-Friday that I did notice the LG slow a bit on data transmission, and attributed it to tower congestion. However, even at minimal usage times, such as 2, or 3, or 4 AM, the iPhone still is quite reliable in it's ability to drop calls and transmit data slowly.
    In addition to the above things that can affect service, please keep this in mind, I have friends with smart phones on other networks, specifically Sprint and At&T. When they visit my home, I am quite envious of their reception, even when putting the phones side by side in worst spots in my home, theirs outperform mine in every test I have asked them humor me by doing. Other friends with Verizon smart phones that are not Apple products, receive better phone and data service/reception in my house than I do, but not as good as those with other providers.
    From the data I was able to research, customer complaints and resolutions, and comparisons of reception in my home before and after the iPhone and with other providers, I concluded this:
    Were I someday able to get through to customer service, I would be willing to jump through the hoops, as I am now, so that you can verify and collect what ever technical data you need regarding this problem.
    Ultimately, I would be offered the same choice, or two, as all others having the same problem with their iPhone as I am. Exchange it for another iPhone, which is unsuccessful about 90% of the time, and/or I should purchase at my own expense a network extender. If I, and others, had always had poor reception/service in my home, I would have no problem paying for one. Since the case is the other way around, I decided to be proactive about my feelings on having to purchase one, resulting in my plea for help on the message board.
    I do apologize for the length of my message, but I wanted to try to cover all of the potential questions that would be posed to me in an effort to look for causes that would eliminate the iPhone or the signal quality provided by Verizon of any blame.
    Anyway, I am happy to have you open a trouble ticket and to answer any questions that anyone needs to ask, and do what needs to be done to find a solution. If you were unable to locate my account through my user name or email address I will provide that information below so that you can get started. If there is anything that involves asking a lot of questions, I suggest it be done via email, as over the phone will probably even frustrate the technician or CSR who has to call me back 20 times to complete the questions due to call dropping.
    I sincerely hope that you are able to find a mutually beneficial solution to this problem.

  • Iphone 4s drops calls in new house! help!

    I just upgraded to a iphone 4s around easter 2012 after my iphone 4 had water damage, anyway I just moved to myrtle beach, SC and in my house my iphone drops my calls 95% of the time!! It is REALLY frustrating and there is NO apple store remotely close to this area. I havent had any issues of dropped calls outside my house. The annoying this is that my mom has a blackberry and she never had a dropped call. I did *228 to improve my signal and reset my phone multiple times. If I go to verizon they probably wont do anything. I have from 1-3 bars in my house at any time, does anyone have any suggestions?
    I cannot cancel verizon because I just started my contract this past Easter 2012.
    My only other option is to buy a samsung galaxy nexus 4g on craigslist and keep my iphone as a back up (i wont sell my iphone)

    I have the very same issue on Iphone 5 IOS 7.1, original Apple earbuds. Sometimes Music starts, sometimes SIRI kick in, in any case the calls get dropped ! I disabled SIRI, I cannot find a way to disable music. Anyway, when scroling the oen applications, Music is not one of them !
    It i making the phone unusable (it is supposed to be a business phone) - pure $700 TRASH.
