In the past 15 years or so, I've gone through more cell phones than I can remember, and although technology is improving by the second, we still have a very long way to go.
I don't know about you, but the most annoying thing about my iPhone is losing cell phone service in my own home. Although bad reception is usually the provider's fault, I was so excited to come across the following video and learn that there are some things we can do to help get a better signal, regardless of who your cell phone company is.
Leave it to YouTube hacker extraordinaire Grant Thompson – The King Of Random to create this awesome video that features these 10 hacks to get better cell phone reception:
- Access a secret “Field Testing” screen on your iPhone.
- Learn how to see the ACTUAL strength of your signal. (“Bars” aren’t usually accurate.)
- Find the cell tower you’re connected to right now, and make a “real life” connection with it.
- Force your phone to latch on to stronger signals nearby.
- Prevent texts and voicemails from coming through delayed.
- Double your signal simply by rolling down a window.
- Find which carrier best covers the area where you live, and whether you should switch.
- Use a “Femtocell” or “Cell-spot Router” to re-direct calls through the internet.
- Use “Wi-Fi Calling” mode to send messages from the sky, and save on international roaming charges.
- Use a “weBoost” signal booster to eliminate dead-zones and dropped calls in your home, office, or car
