I completely agree that Straight Talk's signal is weak or non-existent now that I have upgraded to an LG Android phone. My old, keyboarded phone used to get service everywhere, all the time. With that phone, I believe service was provided by Verizon's network of "Can Your Hear Me Hear Now?" fame. Now the signal is weak the moment I pull into my driveway and disappears entirely when I walk inside, displaying "Emergency Calls Only." I have heard that the difference in service from my old phone to the new phone may be that the new phone was on the Sprint network, which my teenager says "sucks." I would describe it more as "Can You Ever Hear Anyone?" It's terrible. I have used Straight Talk for years, regularly making business calls when working from home with no problems. Not anymore. It's useless. Android phone service costs more and seldom works at home. Service is spotty in the certain field areas, too. Is there a Straight Talk solution to this problem... or do I just need a new cell phone provider?
