Calling signal strength: Even though they have 5 bars will not allow a call until I go outside?

Its not the phone, its the strength of the signal from the towers. Jitterbug operates off Verizon towers. The phone won't be activated unless there's a good signal strength in your neighborhood. The interior walls of your house may be interfering with the signal. Jitterbug comes with a Friendly 30 Day Return Policy. You get 30 days and 30 minutes to try the phone-make sure it works etc. If its not to your satisfaction, you can get the price paid for the phone returned. Its worth a try.

It's possible that you're somewhere that doesn't support 4G. Try moving out of the woods and closer to an urban area.

I live maybe 3 miles past the swinging bridge on jordan rd North,,,I had maybe 2 bars to no bars,, now I have 6 bars in my house as long as your in the room that has the amplifier in,im not getting 4G yet but, with this type of tube antena it goes to what ever is the best signal, so now im working on installing a directional antena,,,but if your just looking for better cell signals for T-Mobil, its sweet.

I haven't ever tried to do this, but I can find nothing in the instructions that addresses it. My guess would be that you could not block other handsets from coming onto the line.

This particular unit is not rated for outdoor use. Look for more information here:"http://www.engeniustech.com/business/Directory/business-networking/outdoor-access-points-client-bridges_c89_m331/&quo;t;Another good option is to search for outdoor access point. With the proper placement (surge protection recommended) this will throw a good signal across your yard. Check your neighbors to make sure you don't cause interference.

Yes, I would be careful about doing it yourself. I followed the instructions acutely and watched youtube videos to guide me. Unfortunately, after I assembled the new iPhone case the antenna for my phone would say I was only getting 1 bar of service and I live in metro detroit. Before I had full bars but at times I would be driving on the freeway and drop calls unexpectedly. Be careful on putting the phone back together because you might think you did everything correct and then have a mistake like me. That's my experience. Hope this helps.

Also you can get more precise signal information by going to settings then about phone at the very bottom then status and you can see signal strength which deals with dbs or dmbs meaning the less negative the better. I learned that -100 is good and -120 is really bad.-85 is great. Ever consider going to VZ and not iPhone just for reception reasons and nothing else?

So...whats the question? lol Anyway, try going somewhere else and seeing if it gets a signal? Could be trees, buildings, a mountain, whatever blocking it from getting a signal. I often have trouble getting a signal at my home since there's a mountain behind my house. But if I go just 1 or 2 houses down the street I can get a signal pretty fast. Have the same issue with cell phone reception.

Signal issue: the issue is not the phone. check your service, we live in a very remote wooded area and have no problems, my 7 yr old daughter even used it on the airplane when electronics notice was given we can use.

I would say if you're already least getting a little bit of a signal it could help improve it. For me I had just about 0-2 bars that rarely stuck and dropped calls. This game be a solid 1-2 bars that I never drop a call. Of course I've heard others get better results.

Most likely due to a weak signal. Try a station close by and see if it's still a problem.

Honestly I haven't noticed any issues with the signal, I mean I've only recently been using it but that doesn't seem to have happenes yet. I live in miami maybe its just location strength?

I really could not be sure. Perhaps the battery is low or not very fresh. Maybe a re-programming of the code. Could be you are in an area with too much interference in the air when outside. I wish I could say for sure. I wish you better luck in the future though.

Not at all. Your carrier doesn't care whether or not you have 1 bar or 5 bars on your phone. This enhances the signal. On my Sprint here at the office, which is notorious for bad reception, we went from 3 bars and 3G to 3 bars and 4G. Your mileage may vary.
