My iPhone 6 seems to be a bit crappy when it comes to do what you expect a phone to do – that is being able to call someone. The most obvious reason seems to be the antenna being…crappy. I wondered if I could be able to see the signal strength as a number, so as always Google to the rescue. The solution which worked for me was found here Numbers instead of signal dots?<\/a><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Dial *3001#12345#* on your iPhone then press Call.<\/li>\n
  2. You’ll now enter Field Test mode. You’ll notice a signal strength indicator on the upper left hand corner of your screen. You can toggle between signal strength bars and a number by simply taping on it<\/li>\n
  3. At this point, press the home button to exit the app or if you would like the feature to be permanent, continue on. Don’t worry, the process is completely reversible.<\/li>\n
  4. Hold down on the Power button until you see the \u2018slide to power off’ bar. Do not power off the device<\/li>\n
  5. Press down on the Home button until the app closes and you return to your home screen.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
