Wireless Phones Dropping Calls
It is a common fact to encounter once in a while odd situations in which your there is a network problem with your wireless service provider and you get dropped calls from the cell phone for a couple of minutes or more. In most cases only cell phones have this difficulty, because your landline phones are usually wired and have nothing to do with wireless network problem in the area, such as thunderstorms, wind, interference or poor coverage. Of course any company claims they have the fewer dropped calls, but in fact they all have this problems once in a while and subscribers of every cell phone carrier would complain because of this.
The dropped calls are usually a direct result of poor coverage in that area. Unfortunately, this is starting to happen more and more often in metropolitan areas, where the coverage should be pretty good but apparently it isn’t as expected. Or maybe even it is, the fact that there are so many cell carriers operating on similar frequencies and that there are ten thousand times more wireless devices and networks that are transmitting signals at the exact time of our call can have something to do with this.
The main problem people have with the dropped calls is that all they can say is “Can you speak up? I can’t hear you” and so on and then the call ends and they still get charged. There are many unsatisfied customers that file a complaint to their cell carriers, regarding many dropped calls in a certain area where they are living. But people still continue to use their cell phone instead of the landlines that do not drop calls this way. Many persons are even removing the landlines altogether because they are so accustomed to the wireless comfort offered by cell phones that there’s no way they would enjoy again a landline call, fixed to the cough, and with the neck slightly turned.
Calls are especially dropped while people try to roam between carriers or internationally. There are two causes for this. First there are the caller’s problems with the network, and then there’s the distance associated factors, that seriously decrease the signal. It’s a good idea to have cell phone plans that do not charge for the first few seconds (or even 20 seconds) because when you see you are just about to get disconnected from a call and you’ve just dialed the number yoyo can turn off the phone in time so that you won’t get charged. Unfortunately, carries do not offer the extra seconds at the beginning at the call so often because there were people taking advantage of this, by placing only very short consecutive calls, so they wouldn’t have to pay anything.
