    But even if there’s no signal, mobile phone will try to find tower. If it doesn’t find one it will try increasing transmission power.

    Thus draining the phone’s battery much faster.

    Same thing happens if you are camping in a remote location with weak or non-existent coverage.

      Yup. Although it’s been a while since I found a place without mobile signal for camping. This planet is getting crowded.
