Cell phones are not all created equally. Some receive/transmit better than others. Some have quirks like how you hold them makes a difference... Cell signals to and from the towers are subject to all kinds of quirks of nature, and can change rapidly even in strong signal areas.

Finally had to force them to give us new phones as old ones were almost useless.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
