Samsung Intensity service issues

[BSikes56]

My Samsung Intensity (I know it'sold but I like it and don't want a smartphone) has suddenly started having problems with the service area.  I usually don't have a problem with the phone except when I am at home.  This has not been a problem before.  Any suggestions?

Yes.

Get a new phone.

We want to ensure you are getting the best service possible BSikes56. When did you start experiencing service issues? Are issues only when you are indoors or both indoors and outdoors? Have you made any recent changes to your phone when these issues started?

Thank You,

That made me laugh.

Things have changed since...2011 so you're quite a bit behind by using that device.

Having issues with service both inside and outside.  No changes to the phone.  Phone does seem to work in other areas such as when I am at work.  I know I just need to break down and buy a new phone.

You could back up anything you want to keep from it; contacts and then factory reset it, this MAY help.

Thanks for the suggestion.  It is worth a try.  I just really don't want to change phones.  All I do is talk & text!  And not that much of that.

We do want to make sure your device isable to do all the talking & texting that you are use to. Are  you able to dial *228 from it? If so can you choose option 1 to get everythign updated. If you are not getting a stron signal in a certain area, you may want to try it some where you know you get a stronger signal.
