I’ve been using public mobile for a long years but suddenly from mid November phone network at my home became worse. PM tech support is looking into it as it’s a PM technical problem (either client priority or network loop hole due to some change at PM)

@faruk 

Do you have a well insulated home? Insulation in particular interferes with cellular network signal along with other construction materials. You could consider a cell signal booster.

Actually at my home, public mobile phone network is very poor, only one bar(20% network) available. Outside home, 2-3bars.


Outside home means right at your front yard?  if that is the case, that is a true, your house was built with good material 🙂

 

Try changing to 3G only for a week and see if it works better, as I explained, it could be just temporary due to infrastructure upgrade.

 

 

 

My next question to you is what kind of phone you have?

did you try changing your network to 3G Only?  It could help.  

 

@faruk 

From what we heard, telcom are busy upgrading their infrastructure to 5G .  If they are working in your area, it could have poor connection and 3G Only is a temporary work around.  Test it out and see if it helps

 

Of course, you can open a ticket with PM to have them to check, to open ticket with PM:

Problem is with phone network, only one bar shows on phone at my home. Sometimes can’t make call, can’t receive call. Two months ago everything was good. Tech support has to resolve this issue.

@faruk   is the data /internet on your phone being slow due to the poor network or your phone voice quality affected?

 

did you try changing your phone network setting to  3G Only  ?

Some more information would be helpful.

Was your network fine prior to two months ago?  What is happening?  Poor talk quality?  Data issues? unable to send/receive texts?  Multiple phones/accounts having the same issue? Which model phone?
