Poor cell coverage in a specific area: dropped calls, etc.

[zwood]

I'm am hoping there is a way to address poor coverage I receive at home. My roomates and I all have verizon, and we get poor coverage at home. We usually have 3-4 bars until we make a call, then it drops to one bar, and calls are frequently dropped or difficult to hear. Is there a way to report this to verizon? I'm sure many people on our street experience the same pain.

What's your zip code?

Typically Verizon can't do anything about the coverage, they will offer you a network extender, but you'd have to purchase it. They also don't guarantee coverage inside any buildings.

That's what I figured. Zip is 45324. It's not bad in the area, just our street specifically. Does the extender help inside buildings?

The network extender will help with phone calls, but honestly I don't find it worth it. You could just use a free app to make calls over wifi. The network extender has to be connected to your wifi anyway.

Understood! Thank you the info on this. Any hopes that Verizon allows wifi calling through iOS anytime soon? That would solve this issue for many people.

It really would, word is they have applied with the FCC - I think a year ago, but they haven't been given approval. I use whatsapp to make international free calls, the only potential problem is the other party has to have the same app.
