Re: Rumor at the Verizon Store

Ah, but if the site could not hear him, then it makes perfect sense.

I think there is some handshaking between the cell site and the phone before
it shows a signal level. It is not like an analog meter on a shortwave
radio.

Same here. The few times I can't find a signal I plug in my 3 watt
amplifier & that does the trick........most of the time.


No offense, but that doesn't make that much sense. Being unable to "find a
signal" is receiver-related. Plugging in your 3 watt amplifier is
transmitter-related. It doesn'tmatter how much power you're pumping out
if you can't "hear" the cell.
