coverage/phones

Hi

I'm interested in the phrase which says that I can either talk on my mobile because there is a signal or I can't because there is no signal.

I know that we probably can use the word "coverage." So, how can I say it: I'm within coverage/I'm in coverage OR I'm beyond coverage.

What are other expressions to say the same, maybe: I'm out of area........?????

Thanks

"In range"/"out of range" are the phrases that come to mind -- but only to indicate that you can/can't get a signal due to your distance from any transmitter, not for some other reason.

Mr Wordy
"In range"/"out of range"

This is what I've been looking for. Is there any possibility to say the same using: "coverage" or "area" or something else? I'm just curious

So how would you use them in a sentence? Do we say 'My phone was out of range'?

I would say: I was out of range and couldn't call you back.
