Depends on the device.  I thought I could help a friend to  
reduce their 4G LTE phone down to 3G for a better signal, but I  
couldn't find the option in their modest Alcatel flip-phone.

Again, depends on the phone. My Blackberry is very versatile and  
allows a variety of options.

I notice a jump higher on the bars when I would want to start a  
call too.  That's probably because the phone is coming out of  
standby or the radio puts out more power at that point?
