No reception? Don't resort to smoke signals or carrier pigeons just yet. Keep it 21st century with these tips.

Step 1: Fully charge your battery
Always keep the battery at least half charged. Although a phone may have enough power to attempt a call, it may not have enough to maintain a signal.

Tip
Make calls while the phone is charging if you need to.

Step 2: Find a window
Find a window. Being deep inside a building can kill a cell phone signal. Move towards a window, or an outer wall, to find a usable signal.

Tip
Set the phone by a window and use a mobile headset so you can move around the room while keeping the signal.

Step 3: Get away from electronics
Move away from other electronics to reduce interference that could cause your phone to drop calls.

Step 4: Go outside
Go outside, to a street intersection or a park, where tall buildings and other obstructions are less likely to block the signal.

Step 5: Hold it at the correct angle
Hold the cell phone at the proper angle. The antenna is designed to work best when the phone's user is upright and holding the phone in the usual manner.

Did You Know?
Did you Know? One poll found that 33 percent of wireless subscribers feel lost without their wireless phone.

Well since AT&T has the iPhone and I had another phone before this one that only got 2 bars in the location I'm in now compared to the 5 bars I get with this phone there must be something diffrent

Ok, you all can stop hatin' now. Yea it's all common sense, but i'm sure there are people out there that don't know this stuff.

I.E Interference from other electronics such as your computer, holding the phone upright, the phone isn't as strong as a receiver w/ a lower battery, a tall building can block the signal, even though cell phone signals can easily travel through most walls.

I knew all this myself, but don't start bitching about HowCast trying to help people in their vast myriad of ways
