A cellular communications device having circuitry for establishing clear wireless communications which includes a receiver-transmitter for receiving and transmitting wireless signals, a signal checker for comparing the signal strength received by the receiver-transmitter, controller for initiating and inhibiting wireless communications based upon results of the comparison made by the signal checker and a user input means for inputting user command information.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for establishing clear cellular communications wherein there is provided a receiver-transmitter for receiving and transmitting wireless signals, and a signal check for checking, or comparing, the signal strength received by the receiver-transmitter.
There is further provided a user input for inputting command information, a controller for controlling the receiver-transmitter in accordance with signals from the user input and the signal check, as well as, a display for displaying information, such as signal strength.
The method of the present invention includes the steps of entering telephone number information, activating, or initiating, a send function, checking a received signal strength and outputting the received signal strength level to the display and establishing wireless communications where the received signal strength is greater than a predetermined value.
Where the signal strength is determined to be less than the predetermined value, the signal strength information is output to the visual display, the user is then prompted for command input indicating the desire to continue communications despite the low signal level.
Where no command input to continue is received, the process goes to checking the received signal strength and is repeated until it is determined that sufficient signal strength exists or user command input is received indicating the desire to continue with establishing wireless communications.
