Jitterbug does look like Verizon. I checked coverage here, and I have it, so it about has to be since Verizon and US Cellular are the only two national carriers that cover anywhere near me.
Phones are designed to be simple, but look high for what they are (I just checked Amazon, didn't look for used or anything), service looks reasonable though.
If Verizon service is bad, I don't know. Maybe a "better" phone on the network would would work better. I got the LG Ultimate 2 as mentioned, not -quite- as good with reception as my Motorola Barrage, but I do have service in my yard with the LG now, and my old LG Tracfones did not lock on/cut out. In my house, it doesn't matter because the booster makes anything work. The Motorola Mote E -might- have better reception, I got the one I did instead because I liked a couple features on it better, and I thought it had a better camera for when I didn't have my real camera along.
If you look around and see, they have sticker antennas that used to attach by the battery, things you'd see advertised like on a shopping channel. They don't work, at least not most that I saw.
Also, some of the prepaids don't roam to "partner"/competitor cell towers while some of the regular plan phones do roam, so if someone with a regular Verizon phone gets service, and a prepaid Verizon phone in your area doesn't have it (prepaid even like Tracfone on Verizon), might be the reason, of course the other companies too.
About all that can be done is to try different phones/service. I'd make sure to try a good Verizon phone, Sprint, then Tmobile, AT&T, if possible. If you find one that works, phones can usually be found for a fairly reasonable price somewhere.
