Hello.

I am having some voice call issues on my phone (Pixel 7 pro) and i could do with some help understanding the signal strength if anyone could help please?
It says it's' '-102 dBm 38 asu on a GSM Voice network'

My understanding of dBm (decibel milliwatts) is that -102 is weak

Is it weak?

@wobblewoo 

Cell phone signal strength is measured in decibels (dBm). Signal strengths can range from approximately -30 dBm to -110 dBm. The closer that number is to 0, the stronger the cell signal. In general, anything better than -85 decibels is considered a usable signal.
