US Cellular does not have native coverage in Long Beach. However, some US Cellular subscribers may still have coverage in Long Beach thanks to roaming agreements.

The 49% figure for Dish may understate what subscribers in Long Beach experience after accounting for roaming agreements.

Long Beach Cell Signal Strength

There are 1,197 map hexes within the census-defined boundaries of Long Beach. The table below shows the proportion of hexes at various levels of signal strength. Where both 4G and 5G coverage is available, data is drawn from whichever technology offers a stronger signal.

T-Mobile64%35%0%1%
Verizon36%63%0%1%
Dish1%38%10%51%

For most purposes, decent signals are perfectly sufficient. Weak or non-existent signals cause far greater degradation in user experience.

Due to data-reliability concerns, 109 hexes in Long Beach that fall in bodies water, along rivers, or near shorelines are excluded from the table above.
