THE RECORDED DATA

United States networks in this dataset

Compare what contributors recorded. A network's share of these records is not its share of land, population or signal coverage. The first eight entries have the largest recorded counts; this is not a network-quality ranking.

A recorded cell is a radio-network identifier with an estimated position. One physical site can serve several cells, sectors and radio technologies. Zero records in a column do not establish that a network lacks that technology.

READ THE MAP CORRECTLY

How this United States map was built

  1. Use the OpenCellID export for the listed mobile country codes. Standard exports contain cells observed in the last 18 months.
  2. Keep valid coordinates and cells with at least 2 contributed measurements. Several cells can belong to one physical site; these are cell counts, not a tower census.
  3. Group the retained records by serving-network identifier, radio technology and H3 resolution 6 hexagon. A resolution 6 hexagon averages about 36.13 square kilometres; its area varies by location.
  4. Show counts and dates from this snapshot. Its observed-date range is 2025-04-19 to 2026-10-18. A download date is not a new observation of every cell.
  5. For a place check, count estimated cell positions within a 10 km radius of your chosen point. Share your choices only by explicitly copying the link.

Geographic scope: US network-code observations within the stated bounds, including Alaska and Hawaii. Nearby territory records can also appear; overseas territories are not comprehensively represented. For a territory trip, choose that territory in the plan comparison.

Country selection uses configured geographic bounds and mobile country codes. The bounds are not a precise administrative-border filter. Contributions are uneven across operators and places. We do not derive land coverage, population reach, network reliability or signal-strength scores from these counts.

Network names and codes are cross-referenced against the community-maintained MCC-MNC list, with selected operator identities checked against official sources. The identifiers remain visible in the table. A listed name does not establish current commercial roaming access or frequency bands.

BEFORE YOU CHOOSE A NETWORK

Questions about mobile coverage in United States

Does this show actual United States signal coverage?

No. It shows estimated positions of qualifying cell records contributed to OpenCellID in United States. It does not measure indoor service, mobile speeds, congestion or a phone's reception. Terrain, buildings, the handset and plan conditions can change the connection.

How are the United States networks separated?

Records are grouped using the mobile country code and network code, together called MCC-MNC. Those codes identify the recorded serving network, not the retail eSIM brand or the owner of a physical mast. Unmapped identifiers must not be guessed. This snapshot contains 402,690 LTE records and 136,618 NR records across the listed network groups.

What does an empty area on the United States map mean?

It means this dataset has no qualifying records for the selected network and technology in that area. Contributors do not sample every location equally. An empty area is not evidence of no service; check the operator's own map and conditions.

Can I check United States 5G availability with this map?

The 5G / NR filter shows qualifying records labelled NR in the source. A record does not confirm that your phone, plan or roaming agreement can access 5G there. LTE records also do not rule out 5G non-standalone service.

Which network will my travel eSIM use in United States?

Check the exact package's current provider-published network list and roaming conditions before buying. OpenCellID cannot identify an eSIM brand's roaming permissions. The comparison link on this page does not promise access to a particular operator.

What does the nearby-place check count?

It counts qualifying recorded cell positions within 10 km of the point you selected, by network and radio technology. The distance is from an estimated cell position, not a measured signal boundary. A larger count is not a guarantee of better reception.
