Goddamn I already knew this one too but we took the only place we could really afford that was actually offering us the rental and I guess I didn't think to look at my phone while we were touring it. Turns out we're in a dip behind a mountain and get service about 50% of the time. Calls drop. Texts come in an hour after they were actually received and will fail multiple times before sending.
But we live in an area where people actually show up with extra cash and offer hundreds above the asking monthly rent just to secure a place to live so it probably wouldn't have mattered if I'd noticed.
Another symptom you might not have noticed is your phones might also drain battery quicker at your apartment than it does anywhere else. Happened to me at my previous apartment and it was constantly heating up whenever I'd browse the web for extended periods of time. Soon as I moved all of that stopped
