Poor coverage in my area

[TBJ3]

Hi. For as long as I’ve lived in my location (5 years, zip 60035) we’ve had awful coverage on an entire ~1/2 mile strip. Everyone complains about VZW in the area. 

how do I complain to get attention on it? We live in a populous area, cannot believe it’s been this long. 

my work phone is att and works fine.

Hi Yani.

Bars are almost always showing just 1. Calls might go out but if they do they’ll be dropped shortly thereafter. Most calls will just say call failed.

Sending SMS text messages might work, but if has an image, no real chance.

Data extremely slow. But typically pages, music, etc won’t load at all.

I don't know what to suggest when you're not home but when you are home and your phone doesn't have wifi calling install Google Voice and it will allow you to make and receive calls and text messages over wifi or Verizon's network. Unfortunately you have to have a different number with them but you do have the option to port your current number to them for $10. Also you don't have to accept the first number Google offers you. You can keep declining them until one comes up that you like. My phone is capable of wifi calling but since I didn't buy it from Verizon they refuse to turn it on so I use Google Voice if I'm in an area with internet but bad cell service.
