If the FCC were functional, it would be nice for carriers to expose priority in the phone icons. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to explain to friends who lamented about “Full bars but no service, weird.” The current iconography is outdated and clearly confusing (read: misleading) to the public.
- patrickmcnamara 2y agoI travelled to the U.S. and Mexico using eSIMs recently and was running into this issue a lot. I guess this was the reason, thank you.
- mbreese 2y agoI think you’re right about this. There should be a special “limited” icon to show when your service is being deprioritized. I think would actually help the carriers as it would tell customer when a degradation of service was due to a congested network vs low signal.
