With the explosive popularity of iPhone, comes a drawback: its well documented spotty signal reception. iPhone owners have not been shy to express their displeasure with the quality of service provided by AT&T, the exclusive carrier for the iPhone. But fortunately, there are some readily available solutions to help enhance the reception quality for iPhone; some are free and some are not. Here are some simple solutions suggested by the New York Times.
The starting point would be to check to see if you have Apple latest operating system by plugging the iPhone into a computer via its USB cable. When its 3G coverage is weak, iPhone owners can switch to the Edge network or simply reboot their phones. An extreme way to increase signal performance, would be to completely reinstall the phone software but not before backing up all your data.
When all that fails, a signal booster may be the answer according to the NYTimes.
In that regard, products like CellRanger available at get www.getcellranger.com or zBoost offered at www.wi-ex.com are credited to drastically improve iPhone signal quality.
Even AT&T seems to recognize that they have reception issue when it offers its own signal enhancement product called MicroCell whith one time charge.
