Coverage is important, which, AFAIK, manifests itself objectively as
a. Signal strength over time
b. Cellular data speeds over time

Unfortunately Android can't test cellular coverage for any but the one
carrier whose SIM card is inserted, where I just ran a quick signal strength
and cellular data speed test just now on my free T-Mobile Samsung A325G 
from my office inside the house with the phone wi-fi turned off.

1. I don't want apps with ads, and there are plenty of free gsf free ad free
   speedtest apps but I figured people would trust "okla" so I installed it
   <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.zwanoo.android.speedtest>

3. Inside the house, my 5G speeds (wi-fi off) from the Santa Cruz Mountains
   to Las Vegas (I had my gps spoofing app turned on) are about 60 down, 
   7 up & 39ms ping, with 4ms of jitter at as shown in the screenshots below
   <https://i.postimg.cc/nVs0Smw8/speedtest17.jpg>

4. The cellular signal strength from the tower was nicely nested between 
   -80 dBm and -100 dBm which is a decent cellular signal strength for 
   inside the house and for  being miles away from any cellular tower.

Those are actual numbers tested just now inside the house in the same Santa
Cruz Mountains that Steve claims the T-Mobile coverage sucks. Given that I
can only test T-Mobile, I'd like to ask Steve to run the _same_ tests for
Verizon where he lives (on the same California Santa Cruz Mountains range).

Can anyone say what the Verizon or AT&T signal strength & speeds would be?

Note: I don't like redacting much of the tower information so if anyone
knows what minimum tower information regarding privacy I can redact, please
let me know. <https://play.google.com/store/search?q=cellular-z&c=apps>
