Call problems

[Longroad]

So, I have an LG G8 Thinq that is 2 years old.  I have always had good service.  However, in the past 3 months, I have found that when I am on a call after about 45 - 60 mins the call quality starts to break down.  The other party can hear me but I cannot hear the other party.  The call breaks up.  I can only figure it is something on Virgin's end.  Any thoughts?

When I try to talk on my pixel8a with Virgin services I can hear others fine but 80% of the time they can't hear me.  This happens in and outside of my house.   Went to an Authorized depot for the phone and they claim that's not the problem.  I do notice that mostly only have one bar.

If this issue is poor coverage with Virgin how would I get out of this contract.

Hey there @stelar ,

Welcome to the Community and thanks for your post. 

As the Community is a peer to peer assistance channel, it would be hard to determine the cause. However, signal strength can be affected by many factors; line of sight to towers, topography, the amount of users connected to the tower and many more. 

In order for the Community to best assist, some extra details will be needed;

• Are you only seeing issues with your calls? What about text messaging or data usage?
• Do you have a phone case that may be blocking the receptor opening? 
• Do you know of anyone else in the area having similar issues?
• Have you tried to restart your phone and reset the network settings?
• Have you got in touch with our technical support team to open a ticket?

Additionally, we would like to recommend Wi-Fi Calling as this is going to be the most commonly recommended fix for reception issue if you're in a low network area.

Looking forward to hearing back from you.
