Today, I switched cell phone service providers, hoping to upgrade. After working out the details and picking a phone in the store, I got home to find my brand new cell can't get a signal in my house. I already signed the two year contract. FML

There's a 30 day trial period. You deserved this for not reading your contract! Return the phone and switch providers

call your service provider and ask them how to update your phone so you can hit more towers and get a stronger signal.

There is usually a 3-30 day period where you can cancel service without being penalized. Also, if you have wireless Internet a lot of providers have a way to boost your service by going through the wireless. You should be alright.

Different cellphones (I'm not talking about companies) receive better/worse signals within the same company.

Most carriers give you thirty days to return it. At least in Oregon they do.

With all service providers you have at least a 2 week grace period. So you can cancel your 2 year contract at no charge if you are still in the grace period.
