How to improve cell phone signal

The signal can be improved using very simple processes. However, in some cases, it may be necessary to use another technology to help you. See the tips below!

Turn airplane mode on and off

The first attempt to improve your cell phone signal is to turn airplane mode on and off. This action resets the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular network modems, helping you locate the signal in the area.

Restart the cell phone

Still no signal or poor connection? Restart the device, as this way it is possible for some problems to be corrected and the connection to work effectively again for calls, sending messages and accessing the internet.

Find a higher location

Another alternative is to look for a higher location with less interference from walls, as if there are many obstacles between the cell phone and the antenna, your connection may be impaired.

If possible, stay close to signal antennas

On the Anatel website (National Telecommunications Agency), you can locate antennas close to your region. In addition, it is possible to access information related to the quality of voice and data services from each operator. The service can also be used as an app and is available for Android and iOS devices.

Remove the SIM card

When you remove it, check if it is dirty and clean it. Also check if it has any physical defect, because if so, it will need to be replaced. If your device has eSIM, disregard this tip, as the best thing to do is to restart it.

Reset device network settings

By updating network settings it is possible to correct possible connectivity errors. Importantly, this process causes you to lose saved Wi-Fi passwords, custom APN settings, and VPN connections.

View your carrier settings

Phone carriers frequently send out configuration updates to improve data, messaging, and calling connectivity. It is worth mentioning that, unlike the iPhone, not all Android phones have carrier settings.

Contact the operator

If the connection problem persists, it is worth contacting your operator. This is because there may be failures in cell towers or damage to fiber optic cables, situations that are the company's responsibility.

Use a cell phone signal booster

In more extreme cases, it may be necessary to use a cell phone signal amplifier, as it will increase the device's signal search capacity and guarantee a connection with the antenna even if it is far from it. Before investing in an amplifier, exhaust all other options, as it does not guarantee a solution to the problem.
