Hey folks, I found this tower in Socal that’s tagged as T-Mobile on the map, but walking around it, doesn’t seem to broadcast T-Mobile or AT&T LTE as seen by my Pixel 4a.

Location: 33.6912733, -117.9781491

Currently tagged as eNBs 191435 and 96964 on CellMapper.

I’m wondering if this might be a Verizon or Dish setup? Or perhaps legacy of some sort? Any ideas?

Here’s a photo of the base as well.

Edit: here’s an album with more photos: https://imgur.com/gallery/ocEoS9O

Also, I looked at my CellMapper CSV history, and I saw this tower last year (2022) at this time (on vacation here) but this year (2023) I am walking all over the area and not seeing it. To me this suggests that perhaps it’s gone to Dish.

We’re the unofficial Lemmy community for all things Cellmapper, an app to record and display mobile network information & quality. This Lemmy community is based on the r/Cellmapper subreddit.

In addition to content related to the Cellmapper app, the r/Cellmapper subreddit is also frequently used for general cell tower equipment identification, which will also be allowed in this community.

Any moderator of r/Cellmapper that would like moderator access here feel free to send me a message.

Rules (currently copied from the Cellmapper subreddit):

Don’t be rude or disruptive

We’re happy to give people some slack but we want to maintain the community as an inclusive and supportive one that’s open to people of all levels of knowledge about mobile networks.

Examples of rude / disruptive behaviour include but aren’t limited to: Excessive Swearing / Directed Swearing at an individual as an insult, showing huge levels of disdain to someone with less knowledge than yourself, hounding users about irrelevant points, just generally being a bit of a knob.

Don’t reveal the location of other users

Fairly simply rule I think, considering the nature of Cellmapper we store a lot of information that is geotagged. If you have knowledge about someone that isn’t public, don’t be a knob and reveal it to the world unless they want to. It’s just basic manners to be honest.

Please try and keep complaints constructive

We get it. Cellmapper sometimes doesn’t work as well as it should or sometimes is just a bit frustrating. We know! We use it ourselves and find it just as annoying. We’re a small group of people and it’s all done on a voluntary basis when we have free time, we’re not commercial like some of the other sites but we do try. If you’ve got feedback, constructive criticism or anything like this get in touch with us, we’d love to hear it and we love speaking to users, but please don’t be too rude!
