iPhone X weak cell signal

Further to my post above where my iPhone X was FAR weaker than my wife's iPhone 6 at the same location, a few days later I'm finding that the phone won't make calls, or drops calls, from locations where I never had a problem with my iPhone 6s Plus. I'm frequently seeing one-bar cell signals in places where I've usually had two or even three bars of cell signal, and one bar frequently means "zero signal"; the phone won't make a call.

Really serious. This phone will let me send animated cartoon images of my face but won't let me make telephone calls! Somebody's forgotten what's important in a cell phone.

I've seen the two suggested "solutions" here - call the cell provider and switch voice to 3G. I've done the former - there have been no recent changes to the network - and I won't do the latter because I paid a mighty sum to have best phone using the latest technology on the market.

Any other likely fixes to try before I take it to Apple? Thanks in advance.

I am in Australia. I just just purchase and iPhone X to replace my old iPhone 4. This phone always had 4 bars and a strong signal not so with the iPhone X. This phone is obviously only suited to areas of very strong signal. Very poor product.

I’m in New Zealand and I, too, have the same problem. I took it to my service provider who suggested replacing the SIM card (old cards have been known to cause this problem). It made no difference. My 7+ gets full reception when I have none. Very, very frustrating. Let’s hope it is just a software glitch and a fix comes out soon!

I am having the same issue with my iPhone X. I get a call, and can't hear the other person and vice versa. Dropped calls, slow data and failed text messages. This is very frustrating especially when I travel every week for week and practically live on my cell phone. I checked with my carrier numerous times, had them update carrier settings etc. I upgraded from the 6 and I am about to go back to using that. The $1100 investment I made on the phone is kind of worthless if I can't use it for calling and texting, not to mention the ridiculous cell phone bill I pay every month. I hope Apple comes out with a fix for this, otherwise my loyalty may change to Samsung if I can't get this iPhone X to work like it is supposed to!

I hear you my friend . You may as well be carrying a brick in your pocket for all the iphone x is worth . It's bloody disgraceful .

And yes , my loyalty will be changing if APPLE don't sort this soon.....!!

I wish I had stuck with my 6s , lovely phone .

Finger's crossed.....!!

I have the exact same problems with the weak cell signal. I exchanged the first one I had for a second one and the proble is identical. Calls are being g stopped on a daily basis and call quality is a common complaint from people I am speaking with on the X.

I love everything about the device with only one exception, albeit it major exception. The iPhone X seems to be absolutely everything someone can wish for in a cell phone less the phone aspect.

Anything we can we do to make the phone more reliable?

Have you 4G in your area ?
