We recently moved and the reception on my iPhone 5c is now terrible. Every time I call someone it is spotty and ends up hanging up on them. Reception is just OK when I go outside, but I can't make all of my phone calls from outside. And I don't want to get a landline. Any suggestions how to fix? Someone told me to call Verizon and get a "boost"...anyone know what this is? Thanks for your help!

I have had the same problem ever since I got my Verizon service. My wife is home bound and her cell is useless. My Kids phones were working out okay while in school but throughout the summer they were useless too. I went to the store and complained and they said they were aware of the problem and would sell me a device that would solve the issue. I asked why the area that had problematic coverage was shown on their map as having solid coverage when it didn't really have good coverage. They said it was such a small area it wouldn't show on the map. I didn't have any dropped calls or connection problems at that location with my other carrier. They won't let me out of my contract even though at least half of all my call at home are dropped or won't connect.WORST customer service ever. Yes we are billing for a service we won't really provide (unless you pay extra) and we won't allow you to stop using that service or make any attempt to correct the problem.

Thanks for responding LasinaH,
No it is not just inside my house. It is a dead zone about 2-3 blocks
square around my house. The folks at the store were familiar with the issue
and offer to sell me one for around $250. My point is this, I made my
address known to the salespeople when I signed up for a Two year contract.
Why didn't they tell me then I would need to purchase this extender at that
time? When I finally realized what the problem was and complained they
obviously knew about it. Why then ? Because I wouldn't have signed up then.
Your prices are already at the top end of the scale And I was happy with
the service I had before and it was about half the price with no
contract.So when I complain about not getting the coverage promised to me
before I signed the solution is to charge me more so I can get the coverage
everyone else gets? If this extender doesn't work well then what will you
charge me even more for a better one? I should have to pay more for the
same service as the other people on the coverage map. It is your map ,Your
promise of coverage. If there are holes in that coverage then it is up to
you to remedy that. Provide me with the extender for free for the length of
my contract or let me walk away from the contract you seem to be unwilling
to honor. Doesn't that make sense?
Yours literally,
Canyouheremenow

I have basically the same problem. Just recently My 5c will not work in my house or for that matter in my car. I have been to two stores a company store and a franchise store. Basically the same answers. However the company store blamed the 5c for a poor antenna and kinda suggested that I up grade to a 5s or the newer 6 phones
What is a true answer. Take the phone to Apple and have them check it out? Buy a new phone and plan, or go to another phone company?
PS my cheap basic LG tracfone seems to work in the house where the 5c will not.
