out of range

Beyond signal distance

Out of range describes something beyond the limits where it can be reached, detected, or affected.

A target may be out of range of a weapon, a phone out of range of cell towers, or a price out of range for a budget: The cabin was out of range of any Wi-Fi signal.

The phrase implies a boundary that could potentially be crossed—move closer and you're back in range.
