   The answer is pretty simple – just turn your radio off in order to conserve battery life.

   You can also turn off Bluetooth, Wifi, change your ringer to eliminate vibrating etc.

   Check out this post for detailed instructions on how to turn all these functions off:

   You need to turn off the radio so your Blackberry doesn’t bother searching for a signal.

   How you do this depends on the model of Blackberry. On some you will see a symbol on the main menu of a radio tower, click this to turn the signal on or off. On other model you go to the Manage Connections feature and turn off the Mobile Network.

   Once you need to make a call again you can just turn the radio back on.

   You can’t turn the signal off without turning the phone off. Really, though there’s no reason why you should feel compelled to get rid of the red “searching” signal though because it doesn’t cost you anything to have it on like that, but if you want to reset it to actually GET signal again, just turn the phone power off and back on again.

   (hold the red “phone” button.)
