@furball1 -103 dbm is not bad. I am dealing with -125 dbm at My home location which is terrible and explains my drop calls and slow speeds. Technical support has confirmed that my issue is linked to a known issue and they're trying to resolve it for me. All I can do is wait.
These are a couple of easy things you can try to see if they help make your calls more stable. The steps can reduce but not necessarily eliminate your problem.
Go to phone settings and set your network type to "LTE" (or even 3G); just remember to switch back to 5G if you want faster mobile data speeds. Turn off the automatic network selection and manually select Public Mobile. Click reset network or switch airplane mode on and off occasionally. Restart your phone every once in awhile. See if these steps makes a difference in your location.
Try changing your location to a strong location area. You can use the coverage map and a tower locator app to find a Telus tower. If you can get signals stronger than -95 dbm and still have dropped calls, then there's something seriously wrong with your phone or the way that your phone interacts with the network. Try putting your SIM cards in a different phone to see if the problem persists. If it does not, it may be in that you need to upgrade your phone.
If you continue to have a coverage issue at your home location, contact PM by messaging CS_Agent. They can refresh the network on their end. If problems still in persist, it may well be that the network hardware/network in your area needs to be upgraded to fix the problem or to accommodate the number of users in your neighborhood. There is a reason that Telus needs to spends $73 billion over the next few years and maybe your particular location is a target area for a few bucks.
Also, note that it takes two to tango. If there's a particular person that you are having dropped calls with regardless of your location and signal strength, find out what network the other person is on, their location, signal strength and phone model. It may be that the dropped calls are a result of the other guy and has nothing to do with you.
Good luck.
