Where's the cottage? This is likely due to the lack of 3G network service in that area as currently pm uses the 3G network for your voice services. You can try switching to 3G only and see if it improves....test for your signal strength while in 3G network mode by going to your Settings>>About phone>>Sim card status>>Signal strength>> What is your -dBm reading?
-60dBm to -80dBm (ideal) -81dBm to -94dBm (acceptable) -95dBm to -101dBm (poor) anything below -101dBm is unusable. But as long as you have a signal you have something to work with. Spending $100 for a signal booster on Amazon may be all you need to fix the problem.
Alternatively as we await the implementation of VoLTE calling for pm customers sometime this year (hopefully) you can also call forward (busy/unreachable) your pm phone # to a voip provider # (such as textnow or fongo) that can be used on wifi or mobile data (0.5mb/1min). Your incoming pm calls will ring thru to your voip phone # which you can also use for your outgoing voice calls whenever you cannot connect to the 3G network.
Check your local towers.....
