RSSI for some network certifications very it might be -104dBm for one network while others it can be -98dBm. Some radios will go down to -107dBm. The numbers are measured at the antenna jack of the radio; so antenna gain and other physical parameters effect the overall RSSI.
Someone correct me if I am wrong here, the GSM network certifications governing documents are PTCRB and GCF, these documents list what test need to be preformed and reference the governing GSM document on what the pass/fail criteria and how to do the test. In this case it's GSM 11.10 section II.4.2. If you are on a CDMA network the RSSI is the same.

My son is in college and we stay in touch with Sprint pcs phones. This worked fine until someone broke into his car and stole his phone. Then we found out, to no real surprise, all phones are not created equal -- his replacement phone does not work from his residence. The original model is no longer available. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find any web sites or technical support people who can provide any information on the sensitivity of the various brands of phones offered by Sprint. Do any of you know where this type of information can be found?
