Field Test Mode

You can open up your phone's technical settings (Field Test Modes), including a better gauge of your service level.

"Signal strength is a number ranging from roughly -50 to -105 (your phone may show as a positive number). Closer to zero means a better signal, i.e. - 50 (roughly full signal) is better than -105 (roughly no signal)."

Find out the code for your phone in this PDF from WPSAntennas.com.

We'll be checking out our own cell phones, a Motorola RAZR and an LG enV2 (VX9100), in the coming week.
