# How to deal with poor phone call quality?



## Answers

### Answer by Mukul Goenka

Dealing with poor phone call quality can be frustrating, but several steps can help improve the situation:

**Check [Signal Strength](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/50449/what-to-do-if-iphone-x-has-very-poor-signal-strength-signal-keeps-dropping):** Poor reception is a common cause of call issues. Ensure you have a strong signal by moving to an area with better coverage or using Wi-Fi calling if available.

**Restart Your Phone:** Sometimes, temporary glitches can affect call quality. Restart your phone to refresh its system and potentially resolve any [software issues](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/102080/can-you-share-tips-for-troubleshooting-software-issues).

**[Update Software](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/103628/how-to-update-software):** Ensure your phone's [operating system](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/229069/operating-system-development) and carrier settings are up to date. Manufacturers and carriers release updates that may address call quality issues.

**Disable Unnecessary Apps:** Background apps consuming data or [processing power](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/33366/what-best-practices-you-follow-to-ensure-that-your-application-work-on-multiple-android-devices-of-different-screen-size-processing-power-and-features) can impact call quality. Close unused apps to free up resources for better call performance.

**Check [Network Settings](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/50640/how-to-reset-network-settings-on-your-iphone-8-plus):** Adjust your phone's network settings to prioritize voice calls. Disable features like data roaming during calls to ensure a dedicated connection.

**Use Headphones or Speakerphone:** If the poor call quality persists, try using headphones or the speakerphone function. This can sometimes bypass issues related to the phone's earpiece or microphone.

**Contact Your Carrier:** If the problem persists, reach out to your [mobile carrier](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/102519/what-is-google-fi-and-how-does-it-work-as-a-mobile-carrier). They can provide insights into [network issues](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/13155/contact-mywifiext-support-team-to-resolver-network-issues), check your account settings, and offer solutions to improve call quality.

**Consider Call Apps:** Explore alternative calling apps like WhatsApp, Skype, or FaceTime, which use data networks for calls and may offer better quality in certain situations.
