Signal strength is weak

Become familiar with low coverage areas where you live, commute, work, and play. Then you will know when to expect signal strength issues. You can check signal strength by looking at the Signal Strength icon in the title bar of the Main tab in the Phone application. The stronger the signal, the more bars that appear. If you are outside a coverage area, no bars appear.
