Sometimes you experience dropped calls or low sound quality during a call. This usually happens because of low signal strength or no signal at all, either at your end or the other party's end. Your Nokia 5200 displays signal strength at the top left of the phone display. When the phone is receiving good signals, the indicators increase in number. Similarly, they decrease as the signal quality deteriorates. If you're seeing no indicator at all, your operator is perhaps the best source of assistance. Nonetheless, there are a few things you can try on the phone as well to repair the issue.
Instructions
1. Try moving your Nokia 5200 slightly toward a window or an open space. If the no-signal problem is temporary, it should be resolved by this minor change in its placement.
2. Reset the phone. First, switch it off and remove the battery from the phone's back. After a few seconds, insert the battery again and replace the back cover. Then power it on again. In most cases, you should be able to get the network signal back.
3. Make sure your Nokia 5200 is running the latest software. See Nokia's "Software Update" page in the Resources section and find out if you have the latest firmware. If not, update it on your phone. According to Nokia, if the signal problem is with the handset itself, it should be resolved by updating the software.
4. Contact your network service provider by phone and tell them the problem. Sometimes signal problem is due to the network coverage, and if you're continuously experiencing low signal strength or no signal at all, your operator will tell you resolve the issue.
5. Take your phone to a Nokia Care point. You can find the closest Nokia Care point by visiting the link in the Resources section.
