Four Tips On How To Improve Your Cell Phone Signal

The one thing that big cities and rural areas have in common is bad cell phone signal. If your employees are suffering from dropped calls or no connection at all, we have four tried-and-true solutions for you.

  1. Use An App

The Network Signal Speed Booster by MCStealth is an example of just one app that can help you by finding and connecting to the strongest local signal. You can find similar apps for both Android and iOS systems.

  1. Use Your Wi-Fi

More providers are allowing devices to use “Wi-Fi Calling” which allows you to piggyback off of your Wi-Fi signal when the cell phone reception is poor. All you need is a wireless router and a phone that enables you to connect to your Wi-Fi network. Consult your wireless provider for your options.

  1. Move

Just like the “Can You Hear Me Now” Verizon guy, sometimes you can just obtain a better signal by moving. This is a less-than-desirable choice because it requires moving up higher, closer to a window, or even outside. Deep inside an office is the worst place to get a signal.

  1. Buy A Wi-Fi Booster

Also known as a signal “repeater,” this is beneficial if you have a signal in one area and it fades if you go into another room. What it does is capture and amplify the signal with its antenna.

If your cell phone signal is dropping, it can definitely be frustrating, just like paying too much on your cell phone bill. If you have questions about saving your company money through the auditing, optimizing, or managing of your wireless services, please click here to contact The Bill Police.

AT&T Customers, Wi-Fi Calling Is Here!

AT&T has just announced some exciting changes. They have introduced Wi-Fi Calling, which will makes life much easier for those who are trying to make a call in an area with a poor signal. Per AT&T: “AT&T customers can use Wi-Fi in addition to the traditional cellular network to make and receive calls and texts while in the U.S.”

If you’re in a signal-crushing office building or area where AT&T’s signal doesn’t reach, this is the announcement you’ve been waiting for! Here’s what you need:

  • AT&T Wi-Fi Calling capable smartphone*
    • Apple iPhone 6 or Apple iPhone 6 Plus updated with iOS 9
    • Apple iPhone 6s or Apple iPhone 6s Plus
  • Internet connection via an existing Wi-Fi network

If you have these requirements, here’s how you turn it on:

  1. Turn Wi-Fi Calling on or off from the settings menu and phone section of your device.
  2. Call and text just like you do on the cellular network.
  3. Calls will be carried on the cellular network whenever it’s available and will be carried over Wi-Fi only in places where it’s difficult to get a cellular signal.

Wi-Fi Calling looks to be a great supplement to your cell phone plan if you have issues getting a solid connection. However, it isn’t the right solution for all in-building coverage issues, nor a replacement for other in-building solutions. For companies, this could be a great alternative when you are nearing your minutes limit toward the end of the month or if an employee is in an area with poor cell phone reception.
