# What to do about dropped calls or poor coverage

If you’re experiencing frequent dropped calls, consider the following:

 

##### **Check Coverage**

Visit [redpocket.com/coverage](https://www.redpocket.com/coverage?utm_source=chatgpt.com), select your network, and enter your full address to see detailed coverage. Zoom in to ensure your location isn’t near a poor coverage area. Poor coverage can affect call quality and is sometimes hard to spot without zooming.

**Tip:** If your phone supports **WiFi calling**, enabling it can improve signal strength by using your internet connection instead of relying solely on cellular networks. Learn more about [RedPocket WiFi Calling](https://help.redpocket.com/what-is-wifi-calling-and-can-i-use-it-with-my-red-pocket-service?hsLang=en).

##### **Network Outages**

Sporadic dropped calls may indicate a **network outage or maintenance**. Tools like [Downdetector](https://www.downdetector.com/) can help you see if others in your area are affected.

##### **Environmental Factors**

Weather and building materials can interfere with signal transmission. Metal structures, certain types of glass, or bad weather can cause dropped calls, especially indoors.

 

##### **Consider Switching Networks**

RedPocket Mobile supports plans on all major U.S. networks. If dropped calls persist, check coverage at [redpocket.com/coverage](https://www.redpocket.com/coverage?utm_source=chatgpt.com) and [switch to the network](https://wireless.redpocket.com/coverage-genius?hsLang=en) with the strongest signal in your area.
