   Locally Verizon coverage has regressed over the past few years and I’m beginning to think about switching to T-Mobile myself. Verizon used to be the king of rural coverage but they’ve increasingly been usurped by T-Mobile who are putting equipment on rural towers at an increased rate.

      While the issue may boil down to coverage, it happens when my phone has full service and/or is connected to wifi. I'm using apps, can pull up youtube and use other high bandwidth apps just fine.

      I'll get a text "why aren't you picking up? I tried calling 4x." I have no missed calls. The missed calls never appear on my device. In some cases, I call right back and I get through. In other case, I try calling and my call, too, doesn't go through. I switch to whatsapp and get through on the first ring, and the voice call via whatsapp works fine.
