When speaking to someone, my call is always dropped, whether I call my contact or she calls me. How do I remedy this without expense? I only receive one "dot" (or "bar") inside my home and even on the patio. Coverage is better in the driveway! I live in Florida my home is build like a bunker--poured concrete for protection against hurricanes. Well, it's protection against calls too. How can I fix this without spending lots of money?

VZW has a Network Extender that may work...I don't think it's too terribly expensive (depending on what you consider expensive)...but I've read on here where some people have had lots of luck with it...and others not so much.  May be worth a try...give VZW a call and see what they can do for you.
