Wireless servers do not guarantee coverage and consumers had no reliable way to check. CellReception.com has come up with a simple solution. They call it the "Cell Phone Reception and Tower Search." By combining the FCC's database of registered towers with Google Maps, CellReception.com is able to provide a graphical display of towers nationwide. By giving users an easy and graphical way to access tower locations, they can make better choices of carriers who offer the best coverage in their area before buying.
The creation of cell phone tower maps overlaying the FCC's list of registered towers with Google Maps gives consumers the first graphical representation of towers. This valuable aid to consumers seeking good reception in their neighborhoods and general areas of use can now enter either zip code or city to access 116,000 cell phone towers, and 14,000 customer comments nationwide. Obscure towers never discovered before can be located. Together with Google Map's satellite imaging, users can pinpoint the exact location of the towers, even to the rooftops. Details delineate whether the towers are under bridges or in the forest. Comments contributed by cell phone owners are also available, giving consumers the satisfaction or dissatisfaction ratings with cell phone servers.
