Your Guide to seamless connectivity this Autumn and Winter

As autumn leaves start to fall and winter whispers through the breeze, the season calls for a cosy retreat indoors away from the chill and drizzle. These colder months promise warm tea, snuggly blankets, and more time in the comfort of our homes. However, it also brings along the responsibility of ensuring that we stay connected with our family, friends, and colleagues as we hunker down indoors. In this digital age, staying connected is synonymous with a reliable mobile network. In this article, we’ll provide you with tips to ensure a seamless connection over the chilly season.

With the shift indoors, relying solely on mobile networks might not be the best option. Walls can sometimes obstruct network signals, but Wi-Fi calling can come to your rescue. iD Mobile’s Wi-Fi calling feature allows you to make and receive calls over a Wi-Fi network, bypassing any mobile network issues that you might be facing. It’s seamless, efficient, and ensures that you stay connected no matter where you are in the house.

Applications like WhatsApp have made staying connected so much easier and cost-effective. They not only allow messaging but also voice and video calls over the internet. Leveraging these apps can help you stay in touch without worrying about mobile network issues or extra charges. They also come with features like group calls, making virtual hangouts with friends or family meetings a breeze.

Keeping your device’s software up to date is crucial for its performance and connectivity. Software updates often come with network performance improvements which can be especially beneficial during the indoor months.

 If you’re facing network issues indoors, a few simple steps can help improve the situation:

• Location: Sometimes, moving closer to a window can improve mobile signal.
•  
• Wi-Fi Calling: As mentioned above, Wi-Fi calling comes with all iD Mobile plans, all you need is a Wi-Fi calling compatible device, and ensure Wi-Fi calling is enabled on your device, so it automatically switches to Wi-Fi when mobile signal is weak.
• Network Reset:Resetting network settings on your device can sometimes solve persistent network problems.
