RootMetrics Coverage Map: Check Cell Phone Coverage | RootMetrics

Verifying Cellphone Network Coverage with RootMetrics

Cellphone companies globally often present consumers with coverage information that is demonstrably inaccurate. To independently verify network performance in a specific location, consumers can utilize applications like the RootMetrics Cellphone Coverage Map.

This application assesses the signal strength of different wireless providers and visually represents this data on a map interface.

The information used by RootMetrics is largely crowdsourced, gathered from users actively running the app.

How RootMetrics Collects Data

The app diligently monitors key performance indicators, including signal strength, network reliability, and the incidence of dropped calls.

This collected data is then incorporated into the RootMetrics database, providing a comprehensive overview of each wireless operator’s performance.

Currently, the RootMetrics tool is primarily available for both Android and iPhone platforms.

However, functionality appears to be limited to cities within the United States and focuses on US-based cellphone carriers.

Users outside of this region are encouraged to test the application to determine its compatibility with their location.
