I even tried to switch SIM cards and used the T-Mobile.. I have one bar and lots of drop calls. I’m a drop call away from switching to Verizon

My bro have 5G and has full bars in the house.. just like u said they may not have a tower near but I doubt it.. I live New York Manhattan to be exact and there’s towers everywhere. The tech tried to help me but he failed
Did you set up the phone as new or migrate from a backup? A reset of your network settings might be the answer. I had carrier side problems with my new phone. After they fixed that they still saw problems. I hated to do the settings reset but it solved the problem.
A reset of network settings does not wipe your phone but will wipe your cellular and WiFi settings. Thus why I didn't want to. In my case I had and now redo lots of settings for hidden networks. That's no fun but the cellular network issues truly a problem are gone.
Even after the setting reset there are still matters you need know can occur from all the 5G build out going on. We get enterprise tier support from two carriers because we have a delivery division in the business and cellular backup for network links. The carrier staff admit there are areas where LTE will be best while all the work is going on. 5G works as advertised at one of our work sites and my home. Not by my HQ data center that showed up in 5G coverage map later.
Regardless, know about the settings reset. It's not fun to have some tedious work after that but we support mobile at some scale where over and over I see it solves problems.
Well the t mobile support guy had me reset everything but still at one bar. I didn’t have problems with drop calls on the 11 pro max but I do now i literally have to sit by a window to get a good reception to make a call.. super strenuous!!
