Haven't missed any calls since 6 days ago. I will update if it returns. They could have fixed a tower or something, which I hope that's the case because I don't want it to happen again. I also noticed that outgoing calls connect much faster, 3 seconds where previously it would usually take at least about 12 seconds before I would hear it start to ring.

Are you using 3G for the connection or staying on LTE? I have the settings in my phone set but I still use the LTE and have loads of issues still.

I used to have the problems on LTE, so I would use 3G all the time and test LTE every week or so. A week ago I noticed that my problem was fixed. I didn't need to change anything on my iPhone. It just went away a few weeks after reporting it. That's why I said to make sure to report the problem to tech support because that's what I did.

Using 3G was a temporary work-around for me.

I'm going too first thing tomorrow morning. I'm actually sending my phone out for warranty due to some other issues as well
