13 Pro Max with multiple dropped calls and spotty reception

Upgraded from iPhone XR to iPhone 13 Pro Max less than 2 weeks ago. I've multiple dropped calls at home, in the car, and at work. What gives? I upgraded to a monster of a phone to leave performance issue behind me only to spend a TON of $$$ on a phone that can behave as a phone! HELP! I've waited to upgrade through several iPhone series only to be left with a these issues????

I switched from a note 10 pus to the iPhone 13 pro max. ATT. Calls drop, Wi-Fi and internet lock me out I didn’t realize I can’t stream cellular data to my Samsung tv wireless without Wi-Fi. I can’t keep resetting my phone, shutting off spending hours on the phone. So far this is a piece of junk, my girlfriends 12 mini has no issues. I don’t want this, I hope I’m not stuck with it
