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.
1 If you’re standing, move about ten feet
in any direction.
2 If you’re in a building, move near a
window. Open any metal blinds.
3 If you’re in a building, move outdoors or
to a more open area.
4 If you’re outdoors, move away from
large buildings, trees, or electrical wires.
5 If you’re in a vehicle, move your Treo so
that it’s close to a window of your
vehicle.
My Treo won’t connect to the mobile
network
