Signal Strength Issue

My Apple iPhone 6 never gets more than 2 dots signal strength.  Location doesn't matter.  Could the case be blocking the antenna from receiving a stronger signal?  Other causes?  Any others experience this problem?

Signal strength is important in all phones. We want to make sure you have the best signal. A case is a reason of why a phone can not reach its top performance. Anyone else having issues with signal strength? Are you having issues with your services?

Case is not the reason - remove it with no change in signal strength. Is the a problem with the phone? How can I check Verizon's signal strength in my area?

Thanks for checking that for us, Duals. How long has the issue been going on? Does the signal get better when outside as compared to when you're inside?

Took the phone outside - it registered 3 dots of signal strength - inside 2 dots.

I am located in zip code 19847. I also noticed this morning that the iPhone only showed 2 bars in zip code 18901. I purchased the iPhone in July at theVerizon Warrington store. To the best of my recollection

the phone has only shown 2 - 3 bars max from the date I got it. Is there a way to test if the phone is defective? Is there an area where Verizon’s signal is a strong 5 bars where I can see if the phone shows 5 bars? If I take the phone to either the Warrington or Montgomeryville stores can they check if there is a problem with the phone?

Thanks for your help.

Duals,


Thanks for those important details. It sounds like we definitely have a bit of work to do in pinpointing the root cause here.


How exactly are your services being impacted at this time (slow data, problems with calls)?


Our local stores can definitely take the time to check out your device for any defects if you'd like to stop in.

Problem is poor quality voice calls. I am receiving data OK. Does anyone know what the signal strength in my area really is?

If I get the chance, I will probably take the phone to a verizon store.

Let's check out your settings and make sure the device is set up at it should. Please go to Settings>Cellular. Is Ebnnable LTE set to Data only?
