Make and answer calls

Check signal strength

When you are at the Start screen or in a call, the strength of the radio
signal is indicated by the signal indicators on the left side of your phone’s
screen. The signal indicators move up as the strength of the signal increases
and down as it decreases. Increasing your phone’s signal may be easy. Try
moving your phone slightly, or move toward a window if you’re calling
from inside a building.

This phone is optimized for digital service in a compact size. Therefore,
when your phone is operating in analog mode, the service area in which
you can place and receive calls may be smaller.
