But in terms of your phone radio, absolutely not. A few hundred feet from a cell tower my signal level is now -68 dbm with all 6 bars.

At home where I've had missed calls, delayed texts and VMs, I get anywhere from about -88 to -96 dbm. There's the proven example.
Well, yes and no. -50dBm is generally better than -100dBm, but the SNR is really what gives you signal quality.
