My signal strength often fluctuates. It can be one out of four bars, then it can be three out of four bars. Frequently, people tell me I am cutting in and out. The other day while on a phone call, I was super garbled apparently. We switch to T-Mobile in June, and I swear for the first week it was great. Now it’s just kind of gone downhill. On a good note, we are saving money. LOL
I suppose it’s good news a new phone may not make a difference. I like my 6S just fine. Should I turn the Wi-Fi calling back on and see if that helps things out? Thanks, Traci PS, as a sidenote I had the battery replaced last year. Although it is already down to 88% capacity. Kind of disappointing.
