Several times recently I have had to ask to borrow her phone to make a call. Its seems apple has better reception.
Sailing - couple of points (I'm on VZW with the G3).
1. Samsung has a rep for poorer radios.
2. To fix it using a free program called Phone Info (you can also change it somewhere deep in the menus) is turn off LTE and go with CDMA (auto Prl) - it greatly increases signal reception on my G3. If you're doing something where you really need LTE (download maybe - even the slow 3G (1-2 MBits) is good enough for most things). Not so great to have an LTE phone that you have to turn off LTE but it works for me.
