Insufficient Signal Strength
If you have insufficient signal strength, the icon is displayed (on the left side of the home
page).
Insufficient signal strength may occur because:
●
You are outside the network coverage area.
●
Your device’s internal antenna is pointing in the wrong direction.
●
You are in or near a structure that is blocking the signal.
●
You are near a device that is causing radio signal interference.
●
A network or account problem is preventing you from obtaining service.
