What does the cell signal icon with bars mean on my iPhone?
The number of bars indicates the signal strength of your cellular service. If there's no signal, "No Service" appears instead of bars. On Dual SIM models, the upper row shows your primary line signal strength and the lower row shows your other line's signal strength.
