Mint Mobile vs Verizon Coverage Map
The map compares native (non-roaming) Mint Mobile and Verizon coverage across the United States.
Usage
- Zoom close for the most detailed coverage data
- Use the search bar to compare Mint Mobile and Verizon in a specific location
- Switch view modes to surface different comparisons
View Modes
- Overlay: Shows distinct coverage areas of each carrier
- Winner: Colors each area by which carrier has better signal or better percent coverage
- Difference: Uses color intensity to show the magnitude of signal or coverage differences
🤓 Technical Notes
-
Metrics with high zoom: Zoom in for the most detailed picture. At the highest zoom levels (i.e., viewing the smallest hexagons),
the Winner and Difference views show signal strength comparisons between Mint Mobile and Verizon.
-
Metrics with low zoom: When zoomed out (i.e., viewing larger hexagons), comparisons are usually based on
coverage percentage within each hex. Signal strength is only compared when both Mint Mobile and
Verizon have 100% coverage of a hex. ⓘ
-
Real-world relevance: When comparing Mint Mobile and Verizon signal strength,
the map's difference view uses predicted RSRP values but colors hexagons based on expected real-world impact. A difference between -125 dBm
and -100 dBm (poor to fair) has greater visual impact than a difference between -90 dBm and -65 dBm (excellent to especially excellent).
Data Sourcing
Cell coverage data for Mint Mobile and Verizon comes largely from the May 2025 release of the FCC's Broadband Data Collection program
(representing networks as of December 2024) with supplementation from massive crowdsourcing efforts.
