Thanks, I have done everything. Verizon will not give me another replacement. And truthfully, as wrapped up in the OS as I am.
I honestly do not want to chance another 7Plus, this will be the second replacement, not including the original upgrade, Android is not a viable option considering the music and movies I have collected with IOS
I shut off 4G completely, so now I know it's not the network. Even though they claim it is, it's everywhere with this phone, not just my house.
On 3G I am holding 4 bars of signal strength inside my house, yet the call quality with 2 cups and a string is better than this phone.
So I am at a loss as to what to do next, maybe buy a 5S off eBay.
Verizon did say I could jump ship to another carrier, which was nice of them to do, as long as I return the phone.
So again, I have options, even though they are not the best ones.
Thanks again for your offer of help, I appreciate the kind words.
