Bad phone service and internet service

2.8

Got a new 5G cell and moved to Crenshaw County, Luverne, AL from Elmore County, Titus, AL. Been a customer for a while. Worked with customer service because cell service and internet is trouble. I can hear anyone that calls clearly, but no one can seem to hear me without me breaking up badly. Worked with customer service several times and nothing has changed. I'm on auto payment and had to pre-pay a month just to get a new sim card for the new phone. I have one free month coming, but planning on moving to Verizon to get better service! Not happy with Straight Talk!
