you can refer to the chart below. If your particular problem cannot be resolved

Problem
Possible causes
Possible solution
Poor reception
The network signal is
too weak at your current
location (for example, in
a basement or near a tall
building) because wireless
transmissions cannot
effectively reach it.
Move to a location where
the network signal can be
properly received.
The network is busy at the
current time (for example,
during peak times, there
may be too much network
traffic to handle additional
calls).
Avoid using the phone at
such times, or try again
after waiting a short time.
You are too far away from
a base station for your
service provider.
You can request a service
area map from Consumer
Cellular.
