How to Survive When Mobile Phone has no Reception

For most people, our mobile phones are an important way for us to keep in touch with the outside world. But if you ever encounter situations where there is no reception at home, at work, or in other places, it will be terrible. You can't make or receive calls. What should you do? Don't expect China Mobile or China Unicom to optimize the communication network, let’s try the following ways:

If you have a little bit of reception to work with:

1. Find areas where you get service

If you are lucky, there may be a few spots you can get service, such as windows, doors, or areas away from home appliances like TVs or microwave ovens. Just remember these spots. This is not the most ideal, but it always works in pinch.

2. Use a Bluetooth headset

If you don't want to stand still by the window all the time, you can leave your mobile phone in the area with good reception, and then use the Bluetooth headset to talk. Thus you don't have to stay still at one position, you can move around in the house.

3. Upgrade the antenna

If your phone supports an external antenna (which may do, nowadays), then buy an external antenna and an adapter for our phone. Although most antennas are designed to be used for cars, they should still work on mobile phones.

However, the annoying thing is that there will need to be wired up to your phone on the floor of your home. You will need to be careful of your steps instead. But again, its advantages are very obvious. You don’t need to stick your head out of the window to call someone!

4. Try another phone

First of all, you have to see if the problem is with your mobile phone. If the problem really is with your mobile phone, then you should not struggle. Just try another phone. You might even want to try using an old phone. Old phones generally have good signals because they have installed a relatively large antenna.

5. Buy a repeater

The above suggestions that do not cost much not be the best. Although buying a repeater to amplify weak signals has the best effect, it is also the most expensive one out of the 5 methods. If the reception at your home is really bad, even after you tried another phone, then perhaps, you can only install a repeater.
