I have a droid mini and in the past several weeks the frequency of dropped calls has increased dramatically. Although dropped calls were not uncommon in the past, now, the call may be dropped 5 or more times in a 10 minute period. It is interesting that sending a text is not as affected, occasionally a text may take as long as 10 minutes to send. Signal strength here is poor -- per my phone's 'Network Type and Strength', 1x signal strength is -90dBm to -119dBm; 4G signal strength is -90 dBm to -120 dBm, unless, of course, it tells me there is no service. I am within a couple of miles of 2 cell towers, one to the Northwest and one to the Southeast. There are a lot of trees and the topography is gently rolling. As I said earlier, cell service has never been great here, but the frequency of dropped calls is becoming intolerable. A wilson cradle-type signal booster is marginally helpful in boosting the signal; however if the signal is lost, there is no signal to boost, and the booster is not helpful. It seems to me that if I am paying my Verizon bill each month (which I do) then the service should be available for me to use, which it increasingly is not. Looking forward to some assistance...
