Sprint Mobile Coverage Maps 2019
Posted by Dennis Findley on 11th Jun 2019
Everything you need to know about Sprint Mobile coverage maps for the U.S.
Sprint is one of the 4 primary cellular service providers in the United States. While it doesn’t have the same large swaths of coverage offered by the other three main cell service providers, Sprint Mobile uses off-network roaming to help fill in many of the gaps on their coverage map—though roaming may not be available through all Sprint or MVNO plans.
In addition to their standard 3G and 4G LTE coverage, several Sprint plans also include varying access to talk, text, and LTE data roaming in Mexico and Canada. This makes Sprint a preferred mobile service provider for individuals who regularly travel outside the country.
Despite Sprint's comprehensive roaming coverage area, making calls or accessing the web can still be unreliable in many locations. If you experience poor signal quality in your home or vehicle, these performance-leading boosters can provide the signal speed, quality, and reliability that you're looking for.

Sprint Mobile Coverage Map for 4G
Sprint Mobile’s 4G cellular network is strongest in the Eastern United States with particular density along the eastern seaboard. However, in general, the Western United States has little coverage. To make up for the gaps in coverage in these states, Sprint has partnered with off-network roaming partners to fill many of those service areas.
However, it’s important to note the coverage provided by Sprint Mobile’s off-network partners is not guaranteed by Sprint Mobile. The carrier warns that speeds may vary considerably from standard Sprint speed expectations. Off-network roaming also may not be included in all Sprint Mobile or MVNO plans.
Sprint Mobile 2G/3G Coverage Map
As with all mobile carriers, if 4G signals are not available, a user’s phone will instead connect to 3G or 2G, if available. While these speeds are slower than 4G, they still typically support voice calls, texting, and may allow some internet browsing.
Sprint’s 2G/3G coverage looks fairly similar to its 4G coverage, with an emphasis on the Eastern United States and spotty coverage throughout the Western United States.
Sprint Mobile On and Off-Network Roaming Coverage Map
Sprint relies heavily on its off-network coverage to create the dense mobile coverage maps it touts on its website and through advertising. However, roaming coverage is not included in every plan, making this Sprint Mobile coverage map slightly misleading.
Sprint Mobile is the Provider of Choice for Several MVNOs
Besides offering Sprint coverage through its own service, Sprint is also a network provider for several MVNOs, or mobile virtual network operators. MVNOs do not have their own cell towers. Instead, they buy wholesale minutes and data from a nationwide provider to resell to its clients. Sprint is a nationwide carrier for MVNOs such as Boost Mobile, Virgin Mobile, Net10, and more.
While these MVNOs will often include coverage maps that include Sprint’s third-party roaming service in their coverage map, these off-network roaming areas may or may not be included in the user’s plan.
Understanding the Sprint Mobile Coverage Maps
In addition to coverage maps that include third-party roaming partners, mobile coverage maps, in general, can be an inaccurate depiction of the service coverage clients will experience with Sprint Mobile. There is no scientific or standardized method for creating coverage maps. Instead, these maps are considered a “high-level best-case scenario estimate” of coverage.
“Best-case scenario” in mobile lingo refers to flat topography (no mountains), no landscape interference (no trees), and the user standing out on the street (not in a building or vehicle). It also refers to having the best cell phone available (newer versions of phones have better compatibility with updated cell signal technology), not having any weather interference, and not otherwise experiencing service issues or obstruction.
Since these qualifications rarely apply to mobile users, these coverage maps are better looked at as a way to help users see which provider offers coverage in their area and areas they frequently work or travel.
Extending Sprint Mobile Signal Strength
While Sprint is working to improve their LTE speeds, many Sprint customers find Sprint’s signal strength lacking. In these cases, the use of a cell signal booster can help improve coverage and speed.
If you have reasonable exterior coverage with Sprint Mobile but find your signal in a home, office, or vehicle is unreliable, you may consider investing in a mobile signal booster.
