My Galaxy Note 20 Ultra will not make or receive calls when under a metal roof. Neither would my old Note 5.
Verizon for years told me that it was because calls could not go through metal (after selling me a range extender for a couple hundred bucks that did nothing for the problem!) After asking many people I find that other providers and even others in Verizon did not have that problem with metal interfering. Now they tell me it is the phone brand. WTF! A top of the line phone will not work under metal as a phone. But can get and receive texts, data.
