3 tips to boost your cell phone reception in Dead zones

Dead zones are the curse cell phone users have to bear. In the world of mobility spotty cell service is a great cause for frustration. In the present world where there are millions of cell phone users, most of them still have no high speed internet and they live, travel and work in areas where there is no mobile broad band coverage. Carriers deserve only a part of the blame. There are many reasons for dead zones like geography, cell tower location, rural areas, urban areas, weather etc.

It is time to find ways to boost the cell phone signals instead of cursing for lack of reception. Here are 3 ways in which you can boost the reception.

1.      Update roaming abilities

Some cell providers allow users to update their roaming abilities. This will send data to the phone about the location of cell tower locations in the area. This is the best and fast way to improve a phone signal. All you need to do is dial *228 on your phone and follow the instructions of the IVR. You must keep in mind to update the roaming abilities of the phone you buy. However, all the service providers do not offer this option so speak to a representative of the provider before in hand.

2.      Wireless extensions

This is a costly option but does boost your cell phone signal. So, if you are sure that the place you have moved to does not have your provider and you cannot leave the contract because of the penalty then go for wireless extenders. There are wireless extenders made for home, vehicle and RVs. The home wireless extenders are good only if you are a short distance from the antenna. When you are at a large distance it is better to have one for your car as well. Most of the people use “repeater” wireless extender as it absorbs signal from the provider and boosts it for a stronger signal from the tower.

3.      Avoid Cell phone Antenna Booster Stickers

These stickers do no work and most of the people realize this only after they use them. Tests show that 4 out of the 5 show that these stickers reduce the signal actually.  These tine foil stickers interfere with the connection to the nearest cell tower thus weakening the cell phone signal. The only reason these stickers are sold is people think they are buying a good cell phone reception boosting product.
