4G LTE & 5G Coverage In Scottsdale

The table below shows the proportion of Scottsdale with coverage from different cellular technologies.
Network4G Coverage5G Coverage
AT&T98%80%
T-Mobile95%78%
Verizon99%90%
Dish0%45%
Don't be alarmed by Dish's lack of 4G coverage in Scottsdale. Dish has a newly-built network that's 5G-only.

US Cellular And Dish Roaming Coverage

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

The 45% figure for Dish may understate what subscribers in Scottsdale experience after accounting for roaming agreements.

Scottsdale Cell Signal Strength

There are 3,925 map hexes within the census-defined boundaries of Scottsdale. 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-Mobile18%47%30%5%
Verizon22%62%15%1%

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