Cell Phone Reception Problem?

[Keebler Elf]

A couple months ago I started noticing some static problems (bad reception) with my cell phone. It doesn't happen all the time but frequently enough to be bothersome and noticeable.

Any ideas what might be causing this and/or if it can be fixed? The phone's 3-4 years old but I've never had a cell phone crap out due to poor reception.

It's a Motorola Razr v.3i.

yes. there has been an increase in cell phone interference world wide due to increased ufo traffic. however, this will stop being a problem once the aliens take over and enslave us all. then you won't need a phone.

Phones degrade....

...more so today than in the past for a couple reasons.

1) The electronics now are so compact....and the tolerances so small...that heat build up is a real issue, and it slowly erodes at the performance of the components.

2) Because cell phones are so small today, they see far, far more abuse than in the past...drops, etc. Every little thing matters.

Cell phones nowadays wear out. They do. This wasn't the case before when they were large boxes that went in your car and were analog (meaning performance degradation was..."elegant"...), but today's phones are manufactured in large volumes to be very inexpensive, using highly stressed components.

Time to get a new one. However, if you've had the same carrier for the last 3 or 4 years, it shouldn't cost you anything....

If you are so smart, why did you not inform him that wrapping his cell phone in tin foil would resolve the issue?
