There is usually no easy way to increase the signal of a cellular phone, although some models have better range than other models. One possible way to increase the strength when you are in a car is to have a "car-kit" which boosts the signal strength and uses an external antenna (on the outside of a car). If this is a critical concern for you, you can probably avail yourself to a "transportable" phone, which operates at a higher power than a standard cell phone, but these are also several times larger and heavier than a standard phone and really only a solution for those who must be able to make calls in fringe areas.

Other tips that will improve your signal is to use the phone outside when possible, the range will be significantly decreased if you are inside of a (metal) car or inside a building. Extend your phone's antenna if that is possible on your phone and hold the phone as vertical as you can. There are always some "dead" areas where cellular signals are weak, obstructed or have significant interferrence, so moving a few meters will sometimes make for a much clearer call. If you have seen the clear stickers with a gold foil "antenna" design and claim to increase your cellular signal, they are a waste of money and have no plausible basis on why you could expect them to help.

It is possible to boost your phone's signal using a home made antennae. It is also possible to fit an external antennae. However, the easiest way may be to change to a provider with more reliable coverage.

Cell phone signals aren't as good if the tower is far away or behind something such as a mountain. To improve cell phone signal, you would have to go closer to a cell phone tower. Some cell phone companies are working on building more towers so their signal could improve.

Boosting your cell phone signal can be as easy as making minor adjustments to the internal settings in your phone, or ordering a new product for extra support. Much like getting the best battery charge on your phone, most signal boosting techniques can be done in Settings.

How the mobile service providers know whether the mobile is switched off or out of coverage?

Normally, when you have coverage and your phone is on, your phone regularly sends a "ping", or small signal telling the provider that your phone is on and can receive calls.When you turn your phone off, your phone sends a signal to your provider notifying them that your phone is off. When you lose coverage, your provider notices that it is not receiving pings from you and it did not receive the power-off signal.
