Problem

Possible Causes

Possible Solution

Poor reception

The network signal is too weak at your current location, for example, in a basement or near a tall building, because wireless transmissions can not effectively reach it.

Move to a location where the network signal can be properly received.

The network is busy at the current time (for example, during peak times, there may be too much network traffic to handle additional calls).

Avoid using the phone at such times, or try again after waiting a short time.

You are too far away from a base station for your service provider.

You can request a service area map from your service provider.

Echo or noise

Poor network link quality on the part of your service provider.

End the call and dial again. You may be switched to a better-quality network link or phone line.
