This page provides tips that improve the radio reception.

Try the following to improve radio reception, especially if you are in a "fringe" coverage area:

• Use the hands-free headset and position the phone away from your body.
• Walk to a window if you are indoors.
• Step outside of buildings that have high metal, concrete, or earthen content as they may absorb radio signals.
• Step away from metallic windows as they absorb RF energy.
• Go to the highest spot possible to make the call.
• Step away from computers or electronic equipment.
• If you are in a car, first park, then try the call from outside the car.
• If you are near or directly under a cellular/PCS radio tower, walk at least one block away.
