Update your network settings
Similarly to updating your phone, you also need to update your network settings on a regular basis. “This will look different based on the type of phone you use, but through your phone’s settings, disconnect your phone from the existing network operator it’s on and scan for a new network to see if that works better,” says Campbell.
