Tech guru has tip to boost your mobile phone signal

A tech guru has given mobileusers a simple tip to boost signal strength. Scott Polderman regularly shares tips with his 1.4 million followers on TikTok, and recently he turned his attention to the familiar scenario of running low on signal, reports the Mirror.

Scott, who uploads on TikTok as @scottpolderman, said all you have to do is toggle airplane mode on and off.

This hack works because inside your phone there's a modem which it uses to connect to nearby towers, which is how your phone connects to others. But it drains the battery to search for new towers so to conserve power checks are only done intermittently.
