If it is simply the signal strength then why use a phone that relies on one specific brand, this includes all carriers mentioned to this point.

Google Fi, yes that Google, offers fantastic coverage and service. The use TWO carriers, switching between the strongest signal. Pricing is also appealing.
The wall insulation is also foil lined (at least concrete block) so the entire homes in the new Villages are wrapped in aluminum foil.

Google Fi is very interesting, uses 3 carriers on their supported phones. Now works with iPhone/Android but just T-Mobile, no carrier switching on those devices.

I've wondered about using it with a hotspot device installed in the car for road trips.
