Deadcellzones.com is a "Consumer Generated Coverage Map™" of outdoor and indoor cell phone reception problem locations for AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile and other smaller carriers. The map is dedicated to identifying buildings, homes, parks, resorts, stadiums, hospitals and public places where cellular phone calls are frequently dropped or where a cell phone signal is not available. It is our mission to become the voice of 240 million US wireless customers and identify all relevant dead zones, dropped calls, network congestion areas. The database was founded in 2001 and has become a central platform for objectively sharing notorious dead zone locations. It is our mission to report coverage complaints efficiently to wireless carriers and mobile retailers through our mapping API. We believe seamless cellular coverage can be achieved if carriers stop hyping their national coverage maps in commercials and simply focus locally at providing better coverage at the neighborhood level. Our map has a searchable map database of over 100,000+ cell phone complaints submitted from customers and receives hundreds of new complaints each day.

Editor's Notes
Traditionally, carriers have addressed coverage solutions by expanding coverage through the deployment of various “macro network” solutions ranging from complete new base stations down to micro and pico cells. Typically these are not deployed within a building A number of vendors have developed and deployed solutions for large venues supporting a large number of simultaneous callers. Various train stations, large hotels & casinos, stadiums and malls have been equipped the carriers or the building owner. However, these solutions have not proven cost effective in serving smaller “spots”. This is an ideal situation for a new disruptive technology that challenges the existing price performance paradigm.
