@Scorpion  Hello try this is possible since you phone and Sim works fine for you try your sim in your wife's phone and hers in your's. Technology get be hit or miss once your tested out the above mentioned please report back..

I had a similar experience but with another network and it was due to a batch of faulty sim card's. It's worth a try.

Hi ​@Scorpion Can you please try to do a network reset on both your devices try the below steps on the iPhone;

"Go to Settings.
Tap Phone.
Tap My Number.
Use the delete button to remove the old number.
Use the keypad to enter the new number.
Tap Save.
1. Go to Settings
2. Messages
3. Turn off iMessage.
4. Go to General
5. Reset
6. Reset Network Settings.
7. Once the iPhone is open.
8. Go to Settings
9. Messages Turn ON iMessage.
10.This will recognize the new sim and have it verified."

 

And the following on the Samsung.

Open Settings and then tap General management. Tap Reset, and then tap Reset network settings.

HI ​@Scorpion

 

I’m sorry to hear you’ve been having ongoing issues with your connection, especially after already trying a replacement SIM.

 

As your wife’s Samsung appears to stay connected in the same locations, this does suggest the issue may be related specifically to how your iPhone is connecting to the network rather than a general coverage problem.

 

As a troubleshooting step, please try setting your handset to 4G only mode to see if this improves the speed and stability of the service.

 

To do this on your iPhone:

  1. Go to Settings
  2. Tap Mobile Service or Cellular
  3. Select Mobile Data Options
  4. Tap Voice & Data
  5. Select 4G or LTE

Please test the service after making this change to see whether the connection improves.

 

Owethu

Hi ​@Scorpion 

 

Have you tested the SIM card in a different device to check whether you experience the same signal issue as on the iPhone?

If the same issue occurs in another device, then you may need to request a replacement SIM card.
