Cell coverage is great these days, but what happens if you find yourself with the dreaded “no signal” at the top of your phone? Here are five things you can still do with your phone while cut off from the world.
1. Go for a Run
Most smartphones’ GPS will work even if your not connected to the internet. This means you can use apps like TrackMyRun or Runkeeper even if you have no signal. You’ll need to reconnect for some advanced features, but you will still be able to track your run or hike when the bars read zero.
2. Offline Maps
You can store maps offline so that you’ll be able to navigate even with no signal. Pro-tip: this also works really well for when your in a roaming zone (like another country) and don’t want to be charged those expensive roaming fees!
We’re still waiting for Apple to add this feature to their maps app, so for now Google is your best bet – but dont’t forget to download the offline version before you loose signal!
