The invention concerns a method (300) for directing users to coverage. The method includes the steps of detecting (314) when a signal strength parameter of a mobile unit (112) falls below a predetermined threshold, acquiring (316) positional information about the mobile unit and directing (322) a user of the mobile unit to a reestablishing coverage area (110) that has a signal strength that would cause the signal strength parameter to meet the predetermined threshold. In addition, the method can include the step of calculating (320) positional parameters between the mobile unit and the reestablishing coverage area in which the reestablishing coverage area is a coverage area (110) that is physically closest to the mobile unit in comparison to other coverage areas.
