Will iPhone 6+ change my cell service?

Hi All...

So my house has been notorious for having bad reception (Verizon customer). I have no idea why. If I go a mile away I can get 4g.

With the extra LTE bands or any new features that the iPhone 6+ has, do you think that I will be able to get 4g by house now?

Obviously I will find out Friday but just curious what any tech people may think.

Right now no. But we can assume that Verizon will eventually support Wifi calling (t-mobile already does, AT&T announced support coming in 2015) which would then let you use your own wifi to make calls over the phone.

No.

Or wait and hope Verizon eventually implements WIFI calling.
Or switch carriers.

I don't remember the difference in cellular between the 4S and 5, but with my 5 I no longer needed my ATT Microcell, whereas my wife's 4S does.... so maybe.
