12 Main Functions
Dialing
You may make and receive calls on your phone when
the symbol of your network provider appears on the
screen. The information bar on the upper left corner
of the screen indicates network strength (the signal is
strongest when there are four lines visible).
Barriers greatly affect call quality, thus slightly moving
your position can increase the quality of the phone
call.
