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.

Dear OP; tell me who you signed up with, so I can avoid them like the plague. Also, FYL. Something in perfect working condition, yet not working, is probably one of the most frustrating things in life...

Avoid them why? Do you live in the same house? If not, kind of stupid to jump on that bandwagon.

If you explain this to your provider they will simply give you free roaming for life so that your antenna uses other carriers' towers for service. At least sprint does for at least 5 people I know

It's called buyers remorse. Return the phone

Most cell phone providers give you 14days or a certain amount of alloted minutes used to exchange the phone. It could be the phone itself and not the service provider

Why didn't you ask your provider for a coverage map? Most of them have it. Because you didn't do that you deserve it.

Your state law will determine how much they are required to give as a grace period. Check your contract, I'm betting you have one.
