I was just curious.....do the signal bars mean a whole lot? My phone with Verizon will show anywhere between 0-4 bars for 1X and same for EV but the calls seems to always be clear.

I have heard that any technician will tell you that the signal bars do not indicate the clarity of the call.

Just wondering.
