Signal Strength
Call quality depends on the signal strength in your
area. The signal strength is indicated on the screen
as the number of bars next to the signal strength
icon: The more bars, the better the signal strength. If
the signal quality is poor, move to an open area. If
you are in a building, the reception may be better
near a window.
