I’m a little stumped and need some help. I have a samsung 390g thru straight talk and apparently is uses at&t towers. My issue is that my home is in zip code 66509 and my work is 66440. 5 miles apart. At home I get one bar of signal and at work I get all my bars. Now here is the question. My wife has a tracfone a lg500g and at home and work it has all it bars (full signal). I dont know how our why but I’m trying to duplicate this with straightalk. Any idea’s how. It so confusing that her’s work everywhere she goes. I checked it does have a sim card in it

Perhaps your wife’s LG500G has a T-Mobile SIM?
Different phones will have different receptions. SIM Cards in the US can be from either T-Mobile or AT&T, and they are much different networks.
Have you figured out what is going on? We’d love to know.
Thanks for the reply. It cant be t-mobile as they dont have service in my area. I’m still lost
