Want To Know Your Cell Signal Strength- Try This App

 

Is your cell signal weak at home or at the office? There’s an app for that for both Android and iPhone. OpenSignal says it's monitoring over 800,000 cell towers, 825 servers, and over 5 billion signal readings. (I wonder if our government knows about this).

 

OpenSignal can be downloaded or you can go onto their website and put in your zip or city and see what your signal strength is and which carrier has the best signal. Click here.

 

 

OpenSignal Cell Status-new Port Richey


There I am (the star) just above the Anclote Key Preserve State Park; hmm, looks like my carrier (Sprint) doesn’t have the best signal strength. But I do have my own personal cell tower so that makes up for it. I don't know how reliable OpenSignal is because I couldn't find out what their tallying method info. There's a "help OpenSignal" link that asks you to rate your signal strength and company so it may be based on public opinion.

 

Why not use it to check signal strength for your buyers. I'm sure they will love you for it.

Toni,  People need to be willing to change carriers if they don't have good coverage with their provider. I know so many who boast about how little they pay for their cell service ... their calls are always dropping off.  I pay more for Verizon but it is worth it for reliability. Very interesting app!

Toni, Before I switched carriers I studied the national coverage maps as to the places I mostly traveled. Then I made the switch and I have been extremely happy since.

Cell reception can be so frustrating not only mine but the person I am calling. Oh the price of progress.

Toni,

I'm slowly coming to the realization that there's an app for everything.

Toni, this is great information as our service is very weak now at our residence.  Nice to have options and know what would be best for our home as we both work remote.

I will check this out. I had very low signal in my neighborhood (with the top company for signal strength in my area).  My provider happily sold me a $250 signal booster (works through internet like a modem). It worked very well for a few months and now I'm back to having a poor signal again.

Toni, interesting App...I have Verizon and even though it seems to have the strongest signal I always have signal issues driving through Tennessee and Kentucky

Thanks for the information Toni. I wish I would have had it before I switched from Verizon to Sprint. Only two more months and I can go back to some descent coverage in my local area.

Scott - Sprint has a cell tower you can get for your home called Airave. It works great and if you whine enough you can get it for free. I did.
