There could be a few different reasons for it but the most likely is
that you are on a NID (network identification) border. That means that
your phone is pulling in signal from two or more towers at the same
time that are linked to different network switches. What happens is
the paging channel tries to locate the phone to deliver the incoming
call but fails to find the phone in time because the phone is bouncing
between different switches (NID's). This is a common problem and
there's nothing that can be done by anyone to fix it.

Yep you could be on the boundary of two different switches. The type
of phone you use doesn't matter in these situations because it's the
network that's at fault.

I mut be right between 2 towers to. Caue At random times I can go into
roaming digital roaming then full network sitting here I am watching my
bars go from full to nothing. UGG wis hI could choose the tower lol

Yeah that sounds like it could be a severe case of pilot pollution.
What happens is that the phone will pick up PN offsets from two
different towers and bounce back and forth between them. But one of
towers is either too far away or has too much interference from terrain
or obstacles and as a result has a super high EC/IO (noise pollution in
the signal) to be of much use. When you're on the good tower things
can be fine. But when the phone picks up the bad tower is when your
signal goes way down.
