I get horrible service in my home in the 75098 zip code using Galaxy Samsung S3.  Often i get '0' bars or at most 1 bar.  Frequently it drops from 4G to 3G to No G.  This manifests itself in poor call quality and frequent dropped calls.  And forget about video or audio streaming.  I don't think this is a phone problem per se because when i am in another part of the city i get 4 bars and good call and data quality.  I have put up with this near noexistant service for the life of my 2-year contract but my contract is up in 6 weeks.  Looking for a solution to this or i will consider another carrier when my contract is up.  Any ideas?

We want you to have the best service possible in your area sagramonte. Let's work on this and figure out what's going on here. I looked into the area, coverage is solid. Do  you notice this is a problem more so inside your home or around your home? If so, how far do you have to go to to receive consistent service?

Hello, this is a problem inside my home.  I can go about 80 feet from the house before i get 3 bars.  If i get a mile or 2 from the house i get 4 bars.  I need to get this problem resolved before my contract renews in 3 weeks or i may have to consider another carrier.

I know Verizon offers a network extender but this is not an option for me because:

1) It costs $249.  I should not have to pay "extra" to get excellent service i am already paying for.

2) It only supports 3G signal.  What about 4G LTE?  I am paying for that signal on my phone.

I appreciate the additional details sagramonte. It definitely sounds like it's a problem mainly indoors. In this case, the network extender may help improve service indoors. At this time, this is the only model we have for a network extender, I apologize for the inconvenience. If you're interested, I'm happy to review options to purchase it; if so, please reply to my Direct Message.

Thanks,

Thank you no.  I refuse to pay extra for excellent service i am already paying for and should be receiving.   I am going to wait until my contract is up (in about 3 weeks) and select a new phone on the off chance that the problem is with my phone and not Verizon's network. 

If during the grace period i determine that service has not markedly improved, i will switch carriers.
