Microsoft Lumia dropping calls even after update

[Amy Wright5]

I tried updating and even resetting my device. Not sure what else to try. Help?

Could your carrier just be having issues? Do you have another phone to throw your SIM in to on a different platform (iOS or Android) OR a significant other, or family member on the same carrier to ask if they too are having issues?

Good question and suggestions, but I'm using Cricket and no one else I know is. I will see about trying the SIM card on another platform.

Cricket is actually an MVNO for AT&T and uses the AT&T towers. How is AT&T in your area? There are other good MVNO providers for Verizon (Page Plus for example), T-Mobile (Metro PCS), and Sprint (Boost Mobile). There are TONS more, here's a complete list....

You'll also notice that SOME of them cover multiple carriers, such as Straight Talk.
