I can not make or receive calls from my house, which Verizon says has a cell tower 1 mile away. Verizon replaced my phone and still CRAPPY signal strength. I called them 3 times. Engineers have been called in. Still nothing. My signal strength is -100 dbm to -104 dbm. I am FED UP!!! Are there any fixes??? Signal Boosters??
Thanks for any and all replies....Tom Woodgeard - Sarasota, FL
 
Crazy I agree but check this out. As i sit here i cannot make a phone call. I'm @ -115dbm....... But i have full speed 4G. I use between 4 & 10 gig data a month with no issues at all, but i cannot make a call. VZW also.

If i try to make a call my signal bar falls off the face of the planet. I could do just as will talking into a piece of driftwood.

So..... I have a prepaid ATT throwaway i use for voice. I keep my Verizon for the unlimited data.
 
Here's a screen shot of my signal strength.

Well, I don't use the phone too much for internet. I really want a PHONE signal boost. I have searched and searched, watched some You-Tube videos, including one that guaranteed a signal boost by using 2 L shaped aluminum foil strips taped to inside of cover, (Didn't work) and others saying to hold the phone differently.
Right now, my signal strength is -102dbm. SUCKS!!
