We recently moved to a rural area (from another rural area). My husband's Droid Mini (approximately 2-3 years old) works just fine here. However, after moving here I had continuously dropped calls with my iPhone 4. After researching it, I came to the conclusion that the problem must be the way the antenna was installed in this model phone. So, I just replaced it with a brand new Droid Mini ordered from Verizon. Sad surprise, this new phone dropped my first call made on it today. In fact, dropped it 2 times within about 20 minutes. I am very frustrated and not sure what to do. Like I said my husband's 2-3 yr old Droid Mini works great, so I thought that would be a very good choice, but ended up no better off than with my iPhone 4.
