I'm on my 3rd Storm 2 running OS .713 and my phone keeps fluctuating between 3G and 1x then it goes to SOS. Every time I call customer service they tell me there's no issues in my area then they replace my phone and it still does the same thing. Is there a way to fix this? I really don't want to go through the hassle of transferring all my stuff to yet another phone.

do you have any other phones to check the signal level in your area? or a friend on verizon? spouse's phone?

Do you have your mobile settings to "Global"? It sounds like you are in a very weak CDMA signal, and it is trying to connect with a GSM tower.

SOS means that you have a signal, but you are only authorized to make emergency calls on that service.

Try changing from Global to CDMA and see if it just goes to "No Service".

Just a guess.
