Best regards.

I am also having lots of dropped calls since around Thanksgiving. I had the 10XR, went to Verizon twice for help. We did a hard reset on the phone and update to the carrier. After that didn't work I went back to Verizon and had the SIM card replaced, which also did not fix the problem. I just recently gave in and bought a new Iphone12 hoping this would fix the issue....2 days in with the new 12 and I've had 10 plus calls dropped. During this entire time my wife's Iphone 8 has had zero issues with dropped calls, we both work from home so its not a signal issues. Could there be an app or virus that is causing my calls to be dropped? I transferred all of my data from the old phone to the new one. This is so frustrating, not something that should be happening spending $200 plus a month with Verizon and now paying the $1,000 plus price tag for the Iphone 12....I've been thinking about going to a Samsung for years just so I can have auto-reply texting while on vacation. The whole "dropped call" thing just might be the end of my 15+ relationship with Apple.

I've had the same issue right after updating to 14.3 - bars go from 4 to 1 and then call drops every 3-5 minutes. There are many threads on this forum with hundreds of people experiencing the same issue and yet no fix from Apple. This is terribly frustrating. I also have Verizon.

We have had the same issue, started about two weeks ago.

The average conversation is about 5 dropped calls before the other party is fed up.
