Vision

Phonebooth envisions a world where mobile users are no longer left in the dark about their network coverage. By crowdsourcing real-time signal data, the app aims to provide complete transparency on where mobile networks perform best and where they fall short. Whether users are working remotely, traveling, or house hunting, Phonebooth empowers them with the knowledge to stay reliably connected and choose the carrier that truly delivers on service quality. The ultimate goal is to become the most trusted and widely used platform for mobile signal insights and connectivity decisions

Strategy

The strategy for Phonebooth focuses on launching a powerful yet simple MVP that includes core features like live coverage maps, user-reported feedback, and carrier comparisons. The app will gather signal data passively and securely from users’ devices, supplemented by active user reports to enrich data quality. Prioritizing user privacy and clear communication of data use, Phonebooth will build trust while ensuring compliance with data protection laws like GDPR and CCPA. A clean, intuitive interface will enhance user experience, while strategic partnerships with real estate platforms and telecom analysts will help expand reach

Challanges

Inaccurate Carrier Maps

Traditional signal maps from telecom companies are outdated, generalized, or overly optimistic.

Coverage Varies Block by Block

Users experience huge fluctuations in signal within short distances — often not reflected in official maps.

No App Offered Real-Time, Community-Verified Data

People lacked a way to see real signal strength based on real users, updated live.

Real-Time Data Handling

Managing and processing high volumes of real-time data efficiently and securely.

Telecom Industry Resistance

Overcoming potential resistance or lack of cooperation from mobile carriers who may feel exposed by performance data

Solutions

Crowdsourced Signal Tracking

Phonebooth anonymously collects signal data (strength, call drops, network type) from users’ phones to build a dynamic, evolving coverage map.

Smart, Location-Based Heatmaps

The app displays easy-to-understand visual maps showing best and worst coverage spots for each mobile carrier.

Carrier Comparison at a Glance

Users can compare AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and others — by signal strength, area, and user experience data.

Privacy-First Mobile Experience

Phonebooth only gathers data with permission. It does not collect personal messages, contact data, or identifiable location histories.

Passive Data Collection = Zero Hassle

The app works silently in the background — users contribute to improving the map just by using their phones normally.

End Product

Phonebooth is redefining mobile connectivity by putting real signal visibility into users’ hands. Through a smart, passive, and privacy-safe app experience, Phonebooth helps people stay connected — whether they’re choosing a new home, switching carriers, or just making sure their call won’t drop. Signal strength is no longer a mystery — with Phonebooth, it’s mapped.
