What is a "Testing Cell Phone Signal Strength"? The Most Authoritative Explanation.

What is the best way to measure cell phone signal strength?

Decibels (dB) are the best way to measure your cell phone signal strength. They’re a logarithmic signal unit used to calculate signal loss or gain. Decibels with respect to one milliwatt, known as dBm, accurately define signal strength. Cell signal strength ranges from -50 dBm to -120 dBm for all cellular devices. Typically:

How strong is a cell phone signal?

The closer to zero the dBm reading is, the stronger the cell phone signal. See the cell signal strength chart below for a great comparison: The typical range of measure for cell signal strength is between -110 dBm and -30 dBm. Being a logarithmic unit of measure, each 3-dB increase is actually doubling the power.

What is considered a good cell signal?

What’s considered “good” cell signal? 4G and 5G cellular signal strength are measured using RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power). Excellent signal strength on the RSRP scale is anything stronger than about −85 dBm; poor signal strength is anything less than −115 dBm:

How to check the signal strength of a SIM card?

Signal strength allows you to check how strong or weak the signal is. Tap SIM Card status. Check the Signal strength. In the below image the signal strength is shown as a measurement in dBm. However the numbers will be shown as negative values. So (-61) dBm will be a stronger signal than for example (-93) dBm.
