    I have to reset the network configs about once a month because VoLTE just stops working, and that’s the only fix. I’ve been through FCC complaints, customer service, case manager, etc. There are 3 towers visible from my house, and I can throw a rock and hit one of them.

      Sounds like you have other problems but I want to say there’s such a thing as being too close to a tower as well.

      That is really strange. I’ve never encountered anything like that.

      That was my experience as well. Switched to AT&T which has its own problems but at least it’s consistent. I absolutely hate that AT&T basically has an allow list of phones that reliably work on their network.
