How can I increase the range of phone service at my home?

How can I increase the range of phone service at my home?  Limited or poor service at rear of house; fine reception at front door.

Enable Advanced Calling and WiFi calling on your device if it is capable or purchase a network extender.

If I setup the Advanced Calling feature and WiFi calling, would the benefit be limited to the time the Samsung 6 is in range of my household WiFi?

[sprmankalel]

No. If your service is poor and you're connected to a WiFi network you should be able to have call functionality.

Please search the vzw.com website for details of Advanced Calling and WiFi Calling.

OK.  Thanks for the info, I'll try it.

The first thing to do would be to check the coverage map and make sure that you have LTE coverage in your area.

I would also suggest resetting your network settings as this will reconnect you to the nearest tower.

If you continue to experience an issue after that, there are network extenders available for purchase to boost the signal from the tower to your location.

Device is a Samsung Galaxy S 6. Service has been poor quality since

arrival in AZ in early December. Zip code is 85375. Prior suggestion was

to reset the network settings. How is that accomplished? Second

suggestion was to consider purchasing a network extender. More info

available? Thank you.
