Not all regions have reached cellular signals properly. Let alone surfing in cyberspace, just for telephone or SMS can be disturbed by it.

There are a number of ways you can strengthen cellular signals. If successful, your cellphone signal can go up one or two bars.


Here are some tips that you can do.

1. Remove the case and hold it properly

The casing on the cellphone can reduce the signal. Therefore if you take it off, the signal reception will get better.

In addition, how we hold cellphones is also influential. We recommend that you use a headset or hands-free when making a call so that your hands don't block the signal.


2. Make a signal amplifier

There are many ways we can make our own signal boosters. We can use wires, paper clips, copper hanger, copper wire windings, soda cans, pans, old radio antennas and even pan covers.

For copper wire, you can solder the end of the wire with the cellphone antenna socket. While the paper clip can be straightened out first with the pliers, then bend the end of the clip slightly and attach it to the HP antenna socket.

In order not to escape, tape the paper clip to the cellphone. The same can be done with an old radio antenna, which connects it to the cellphone antenna socket.

However, this method can eliminate the warranty because you have to disassemble the device. Or more expensive, you can buy a signal booster widget and also install the signal boosters application.


3. Keep away from other electronic devices

It could be that your signal is disturbed because it is too close to other electronic devices. One of the easiest steps is to keep it away from the cellphone.

If it is still disturbed, try restarting. Sometimes this method can be the right solution.


4. Manage the network

When using a 3G network the signal becomes problematic, so you can change it to 2G or Edge. This can usually make network reception on cellphones better.

When traveling and don't want to bother, you can use roaming settings so you can choose the network according to location.


5. Take advantage of WiFi

If the smartphone supports Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA), you can use WiFi when in a signal-poor area. You can still make calls, text and connect to the internet with these services.

Some types of Blackberry and Android have supported this.
