Is anyone experiencing better bars/reception when on calls?

Never noticed this, but in my house with AT&T I'm usually between 2-3 bars. While on calls, it moves up to a pretty consistent 4 bars. When I end the call, it drops back down to 2-3. Not really a bad thing, but I guess the phone is working harder to keep a strong signal? Never noticed it

Not that I can recall. Still, if the phone is working well and the call quality is sufficient then I wouldn't worry about it...:)

All of my phones do it. It's because while you're on a call, you are directly tied into the closest tower. You've got a higher priority than others who are in a technical standby mode.

This enables the call to have a less likely chance of being dropped.

That's what I was told when I worked for a cellphone company.
