only one or two bars lately

[k9smom]

I don't know what is going on with Verizons service, but at home and at my daughter's house 700 miles away I have only had one or two bars and even facetime doesn't work because the connection is so slow and bad.  This just started happening within the last month.  I am really upset.  Has anyone else had this happen?

I am updated to iOS 11.2.2    I am normally in zip code 95320 and the last two weeks I have been in zip code 89149.  I have one bar or less, have to change over to wifi calling and sometimes that doesn't work.

I am having the same issue. How do I fix the service. I do not have a landline and need my phone to work.

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear about the issues you're experiencing with the number of bars you have. I know how I depend on my phone for just about everything. We will be more than happy to take a closer look into this for you. We do show that our towers in both those areas seem to be working as expected with no alarms. Although the towers are functioning properly, that doesn't mean that issues don't exist. Your ability to receive optimal signal will be based on different factors. Now the fact that you are experiencing this across different states typically point to the device, not the network. What is the exact make of iPhone you have? Are you indoors when this issue happens? Besides the number of bars you see what specific issues are you having? Did this start after the last update or any other change like a new app installed, phone dropped, etc.?

Why ?   A tower nearby my location has the outer protective panels off it for some time now.    My zip code is 34235

Thank you for the details provided, LR68. I am not showing any reported issues in the area. What exactly is going on with your service? When did you start experiencing service issues? Are issues while indoors only or both indoors and outdoors?
