    The coverage map may say you get excellent coverage, but if you're in a building with thick walls or lots of metal, or sitting beside an electricity station, you're not going to get as strong a signal. Equally, if you're down in a valley, or on top ot a hill, the signal may suffer.

    Changing to a 4G phone will not make the signal stronger.

    A good test would be to go for a walk with your phone - if you're in a built up area, then head for somewhere more open. If you're in a valley, try somewhere out of the valley. If you're up a hill, try coming down it.
