How to Measure Cellular Signal Strength in Your Area - Received on your iPhone from Your Carrier's Tower


RSRP is short for Reference Signal Received Power, used when measuring 4G LTE networks. A cellular phone or another LTE-equipped device would display signal strength in RSRP, measured 0dBm (best signal) to -110dBm (weakest/no signal). An RSRP of -95dBm would be a strong signal whereas -115dBm would be very weak.

Please check the internet speed and the bandwidth that you are getting. Disable WiFi before running this Field Test.


You may check the current LTE band/5G/4G/3G by dialing *3001#12345#* and pressing the call button and then selecting the Serving cell info option
