Update for me... I am still getting dropped calls with the exchange of the phone and on 13.1.3
I will try to disable VoLTE and see what happens.
 
I’m on Sprint, iPhone 11 Pro Max on the beta 13.2 and most calls I get static, static and then drop. Never happened on my 10s Max. Really sucks.
 
I am in Australia and this issue is occurring the following are topics linked to this ongoing issue..




 
Curious as how 13.1.3 plays into these issues? Haven’t gotten to try Mail notification while on a call again yet to see if that issue was fixed...
 
For testing, I just disabled VoLTE and will post back much later today to see if that fixes it.

Have you called into Verizon for them to troubleshoot on their end? When I first received my iPhone there was an issue with my activation on their end (still not exactly sure what - I’m thinking something with frequency provisioning that didn’t carry over) where some of my calls were actually on CDMA because I couldn’t browse the internet or check emails while on a call. As soon as the call ended, I could use data again. My settings were right in the device, but the Verizon tech made me switch to Roaming, then he did whatever on his end. I power cycled the phone and all worked well. No more issues since and my signal strength got better as well.

Not exactly your issue, but just saying that your problem may need to be worked on Verizon’s end.
 
So you back to disabling LTE? I had a call today that lasted 32 minutes with no drops. Fingers crossed this has resolved it for me. Looks like my bluetooth issue maybe resolved as well.
Is it still working for you or did you have to disable VoLTE again?

Please keep us up to date if the VoLTE setting solved the issue. By solved I mean bandaid 😜
 
Not sure about 13.1.3 as I switched to beta before this was released on live. Running 13.2 (17B5068e), replacement SIM, voLTE disabled, and still get dropped calls. Either with WiFi calling enabled or disabled. One more attempt with Apple and will then be asking for money back. They may try replacing the phone but we’ll see.

I didn’t have the issue until I moved to 13.1.2 on my Xs. I went to the 13.2 beta 2 and my calls stopped dropping.

My phone has been working fine since the last update.

Yea, my phone dropped 3 calls on the way home and bluetooth couldn't connect to my car. I thought things were fixed but I spoke to soon. Come on Apple, I love your products and service but you are making it so hard for me to continue to support you.

Did a DFU restore - clean install of iOS 13.1.3. Will see how it performs and report back.
 
Same here with an 11 Pro on EE in the Uk, it's that bad that it's effectively a £1200 ipad touch to me now

I’m with EE too and it’s been driving me batty. I have found that disabling VOLE, but keeping LTE enable makes it more reliable, so it just drops back to 3G for calls. Right now I’ve been going for almost 24 hours without losing my data connection, though I know for sure if I re-enable VOLTE I’ll lose data in under an hour.

I am in contact with Apple over this problem, they’re collecting debug data from my device so as to investigate the issue further. Hopefully there will be a resolution before too long, especially if more people supply debugging information to Apple engineers to investigate why it’s happening.

I wish I had got mine through EE, they were offering to replace my device but I bought it directly from Apple 😣

I didn’t get mine from EE either, though I’m not convinced a new phone would necessarily fix the problem. It might, but I’ve tried some of my other iPhones (which I only keep for debugging apps) and I’m experiencing the same problem with and iPhone 7 and an iPhone 6s, which makes me think it’s an iOS issue more than a hardware issue. Apple are thinking the same, which is why they want me to keep supplying logs to them. Or maybe we need a provider update from EE, I wouldn’t hold my breath for that.
That said, if you’re wanting a new device to see if you get lucky, Apple should be easy enough to get a replacement from, I’ve never had issues getting replacements from them in the past.
