Wait at least five seconds, and then tap the airplane mode button again to turn off the feature. If this does not solve the problem, please turn off the power of the phone completely, wait a while, and then turn on the power again.

Suppose your home is a cellular dead zone. You can make calls via Wi-Fi (see below for more details), but you can try the phone booster first.

The enhancer can use existing cell signals that need to be amplified in any location. They are relatively easy to use and install, but considering the cellular radio included in the cellular signal booster, they can be a bit expensive.

A popular choice on Amazon is the weBoost Home Boost signal kit. It applies to all US carriers, including AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, Straight Talk and US Cellular. You only need to connect the booster to the outdoor antenna. No tools or drilling are required.

With a maximum gain of 60 dB, the booster will not interrupt the operator's signal to and from the cell tower. The uplink output power is 20 dBm, and the downlink output power is 12 dBm. The booster can easily reach the cell phone tower.

Or, you can purchase femtocells from your carrier. It uses your internet connection to establish a better cellular connection. Make sure you have a strong Internet line, and then get another one, otherwise you will run out of money.

On Android, open the phone app and tap the more or three-dot icon to open the menu. Tap Settings. Select Wi-Fi call. If you don’t see this option, your carrier may not support it.

I flew from Santa Barbara, California to Phoenix last week. In a part of the desert, the plane’s Wi-Fi was interrupted for about 7 minutes. My mother is in the intensive care unit and the hospital needs my permission to perform the operation immediately because I am her agent.

Since there is no Wi-Fi or a way to make calls, I opened the voice recorder application on my phone and recorded a note of consent. Fortunately, I was able to send the recording via text message to my sister in the hospital, and she played it by the treating doctor.
