I am not trying to sell anything here but use the above as an example of a product booster. Seems from the review somebody with cricket wireless like you had the same issue and is getting 5 bars of 4g :) Hope it all works out!
let me know how it goes.
Also you might want to look at into a 3g booster that does both 800Mhz and 1900Mhz, So you can always use it if in other areas where its only 1900Mhz. :)
Sorry if I came off as crude in the first reply. I did escalations so often I'd see some really odd cases where people just wanted to game the system.
The high rise might be a big source of the problem. Antenna positions are tricky and what might work amazingly with one carrier might not work with another. If you want to try getting a signal booster; something like this gadget would definitely help; may possibly solve the problem. (It's the best rated in terms of cost-effectiveness on Amazon Canada from what I could see).
The store usually isn't as well equipped as the phone agents (albeit the front line ones aren't the most helpful; the managers are exponentially better and more experienced). The phone option is usually to swap them (but they'll swap them for refurbished ones most likely, and I don't think it's the source of the problem).
Try changing the SIM. It sounds crazy, but I've seen it work in multiple cases for reasons unknown to me. Check the settings as well to make sure it's all on the default ones (settings -> backup and reset -> reset network settings)
In terms of fairness; if you do shell out the cost for the signal booster or even the SIM cards, call the customer service line and escalate the issue to a manager. Explain the 26th floor reality to them and how, while they aren't obligated to provide service inside buildings (it's written in the terms, but common sense ought to prevail of course), it would be nice to use your phone indoors and not have to pay out of pocket for poor antenna positions.
(Silly side note; are you able to get a good data connection nonetheless?)
Finally, if all of the above fails. Only option you really have is to make a deal to return the phone or see if they want to split the cost of the issue with you - the "Bell Escalation Team" is probably the highest department you can speak to within the company - 1-866-317-3382 is the direct number.
That's all I've got. Good luck to ya!
