Which network operator has the best coverage near me?

Personal Coverage Map:

Network Performance History:
View historical data on your network signal strength for your 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G networks. Gain a broader understanding of your mobile signal history by viewing performance trends by day, week, month, and all time.

Crowdsourced Network Coverage Map:
View our crowdsourced coverage map to find areas of better coverage near you. Filter the crowdsourced map by network type and mobile network operator. Compare your personal coverage readings with the crowdsourced readings from others. Search the map to anticipate coverage before your next trip.

Mobile Signal Finder app users support the collective community by submitting their network performance data to our crowdsourced database. The more contributing members we have, the greater the coverage and accuracy of our information.

We never collect emails or phone numbers. However, we do collect location and network performance information, which we license to mobile network operators and cell tower owners, so they can improve network coverage and performance. Most importantly, please note that we never use any information we collect to personally identify you for advertising or any other purpose.

Doesn't work - did for a while now stopped.

When it comes to Android phone service called cricket Wireless Cellular Phone service I don't get any towers that work for that company. If you only work with older models of phones then you should upgrade the app to the newest version of phones for the year 2024 through 3024.

Useless to me without a legend to explain what the colors mean. Is red bad (yes, presumably)? What about pink (not as bad? or strong as TMobile might indicate). Useless and wants more permissions than I care to give.
