Problems like frequent network disconnection, voice loss, or sudden call disconnection while making a call have become normal nowadays. This is called a call drop. If this is happening repeatedly in your mobile too, then it is not just the fault of the network, but can also happen due to many other technical reasons. Here we will tell you why call drops happen and what the easy ways to fix them are.
These are the reasons behind call drops.
The most common reason for call drops is a low or weak network signal. The signal can be weak inside a building, in hilly areas, villages, or crowded places. When too many people are calling or using the internet simultaneously in the same area, the network gets overloaded, which causes call drops.
In some places, mobile companies do not have towers or coverage. The network goes off repeatedly while making a call there. Sometimes calls can also drop due to a problem in your phone's network settings, SIM card, or software. If the network company is working on its tower or system, then there may be a disruption in the network during that time.
Easy ways to fix call drops
Restart the phone: Turn the phone off and on again. This refreshes the network and may improve calling.
Change the network mode: Go to the phone's settings and switch the network mode (4G/3G/2G). Sometimes calls are better in 3G.
Reinsert the SIM card: Remove the SIM, clean it, and reinsert it correctly. Calls can also be dropped due to a damaged SIM.
Reset network settings: Reset the network settings by going to the phone's Settings > System > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Make calls in an open area: If you are inside a room, go to a window or an open space and make calls where the network is better.
Complain to the network company: If calls are constantly dropping, complain to your network provider's customer care.
