Hi @K.D.,

We’re very sorry to hear that you have been experiencing such poor signal and service on your Samsung S23 Ultra, especially after already contacting us previously and trying replacement SIM cards without improvement. We completely understand how frustrating and stressful this must be, particularly when you are unable to reliably make calls, send texts, or use important services such as navigation whilst driving.

Please try the following troubleshooting steps, as these can sometimes help improve connection stability and network performance:

Restart the handset completely
Turn Airplane Mode ON for 60 seconds, then OFF again
Ensure the handset software is fully up to date:
- Settings > Software Update

We would also recommend manually setting the handset to 4G/LTE only temporarily:

Settings
Connections
Mobile Networks
Network Mode
Select LTE/4G

Please also:

Ensure Mobile Data is enabled
Turn Wi-Fi Calling OFF temporarily for testing
Reset the network settings:
- Settings > General Management > Reset > Reset Network Settings
Remove and reinsert the SIM card carefully
Test the handset outdoors where possible to compare signal performance

If available, please also test:

Your SIM in another handset
Another SIM in your Samsung S23 Ultra

If the troubleshooting does not improve the service, please contact us again via Live Chat or direct message through our social media platforms so that further investigation can be completed.
