Vi network frequently shows E signal daily

[aarion]

It is my mom who uses Vi 4G SIM. Me and my mom are fed up with this pathetic network issue in Vi network. My mom's phone frequently shows E signal and this happens daily. Even if you fix things in the settings, 4G signal gets replaced by E again and again and again after some time.

It seems like 4G signal remains absent 30-40% of the time. What is the use of having 4G service when E signal comes repeatedly. My Jio network is quite fine (below average).

We live in Dhawa which is in Lucknow.

Yes. My area is on the edges of Lucknow city but it is still in district. My area comes under village area. There are handful of farms around my home. There are very few street lights in our area. I am living in a rent in a housing society.

Doesn't matter where u live, just the network range matters. If u go in basement it'll show E if tower is far from the building, if tower is near then it'll show 4g. Mobile band also matters somewhat.

At your place, only option is Jio or Vi. Rest all sucks as far as I know.

What should we do then? Whom should I contact?

My mom's phone band is Samsung J7 max

Try to upgrade your mom's phone. You will get better speeds from Vi itself. Your phone lacks band 41 which is main band in UPE. Try to get a phone with 1+41/3+41. Vi will give blazing fast speeds at your place.

When I give my hotspot to my mom, her internet works fine without any pause.

I am saying different thing, you are saying different thing.

Buy a new 5G phone for her.

also depends on mobile phone (specifically bands present in mobile phone) u/ur mom is using. If it's latest, won't get much problem

It's definitely NOT related to handsets. I'm facing the issue (E most of the time and even totally blank often) in iPhone XR (self) and iPhone 12 (wife).

Yes, when we used to live in Indira Nagar (Lucknow) last year, my mom never complained about occurence of E signal at that time.

It will be a burden on our finances. We will do it later.

I had also started seeing problems from the last 3-4 days. Vi data is not working at all showing full 4G signal and not working. I am in MP.
