    iPhone 11 Pro Why do my signal strength bands keep moving like this?

    I have two iPhone 11 Pros, one purchased from T-Mobile (unlocked) and the other from AT&T (unlocked). Neither of the phones currently have a SIM inside of them.

    I have always assumed that the reception bars I see are not indicative of the current signal strength of my mobile data, but just of my general cell reception.

    Call issues

    I've had T-Mobile for over a year and I know their service is not stellar but it works for me (also don't want to pay more for service). I've had the 6S since last year and reception has been fine. Ever since I got the 7 a couple weeks back, people have told me they need to call me twice in...
