Network registration
Command: AT+CREG?, AT+CREG=? , AT+CREG=<n>
Response: +CREG: <n>,<stat>,[,<lac>,<ci>[,<AcT>]] | +CME ERROR
Description: Get network registration status and controls unsolicited status callback, which when turned on will send a +CREG message with the new network status when something changes.
<n>
0. Disable unsolicited status callback.
1. Enable unsolicited status callback, +CREG: <stat>
2. Enable unsolicited status callback, +CREG: <stat>,[,<lac>,<ci>[,<AcT>]][/list]
<stat>
0. Not registered, not searching
1. Registered to home network
2. Not registered, searching for network
3. Registration denied
5. Registered, roaming
<lac> Location area code
<ci> UTRAN/GERAN cell ID
<AcT> Network access type
0. GSM
1. Compact GSM

UTRAN is a short for UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network
The following example shows that full unsolicited status callback is enabled, that the device is registered to its home network followed by an location area code followed by the UTRAN cell ID. Unfortunately this device does not show access type with this command.
Example:
Code: Select all

The following example shows that the devices is connected to the operator called “3? using UTRAN (which is UMTS, also called 3G). Listing available networks shows the current network, an additional UTMS network called Sweden3G that is forbidden and a GSM network called “3? that is available.
Example:
Code: Select all
>AT+COPS?
+COPS: 0,0,”3?,2
AT+COPS=?
+COPS: (2,”3?,”3?,”24004?,2),(1,”3?,”3?,”24008?,0),(3,”Sweden 3G”,”Sweden3G”,”2)
Response: +COPN: <numeric1>,<alpha1>, …, +COPN: <numericN>,<alphaN>

Signal quality
Command: AT+CSQ
Response: +CSQ: <rssi>,<ber>
Description: Returns signal quality.
<rssi> Received Signal Strength Indicator
0
-113 dBm or less
1
-111 dBm
2 to 30
-109 to -53 dBm
31
-51 dBm or greater
99
not known or not detectable
<ber> Bit Error Rate, in percent 0..7.
99 not known or not detectable
A note on the RSSI (received signal strength), dBm is a decibel (logarithmic) scale with a reference of 1 milliwatt thus 0 dBm equals a received signal of 1 mW.
Signal strength is usually lower than 1 mW and therefore below 0, so the larger (closer to 0) the better signal strength.
You can convert the RSSI to dBM with Example
Code: Select all
>AT+CSQ=?
+CSQ: (0-31,99),(99)
OK
>AT+CSQ
+CSQ: 14,99
