Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

You should reset your network settings on your phone. I have T-Mobile and it’s by far the best network I’ve used. If you’re in the deep countryside then you’ll have issues. You shouldn’t be seeing issues like that at all.
I have to reset the network configs about once a month because VoLTE just stops working, and that's the only fix. I've been through FCC complaints, customer service, case manager, etc. There are 3 towers visible from my house, and I can throw a rock and hit one of them.
Sounds like you have other problems but I want to say there's such a thing as being too close to a tower as well.
That is really strange. I've never encountered anything like that.
That was my experience as well. Switched to AT&T which has its own problems but at least it's consistent. I absolutely hate that AT&T basically has an allow list of phones that reliably work on their network.
As an alternate viewpoint, I had T-Mobile for years, and I couldn't keep a phone call connected for more than 10 minutes. If I travelled across the metro area (about 600K people), the call would drop 4 times from one side of the city to the other. Since I got on Verizon, it's been bulletproof. I imagine these things are very location-dependent.
Definitely location dependent. It's all about who has the better cell tower location(s) and how many are present. Sometimes they don't overlap enough or they are in a poor location.
