What the coverage check tells you

Two different answers. A ZIP code tells you whether a Mac Wireless line can be activated there. An exact address tells you what the signal should be outside your door — LTE or 5G, and how strong — on each of our three networks, so you can pick the plan whose network reaches you best.

Which network will my phone use?

The one your plan runs on — each plan names its network in its facts. Mac Basic and Mac Starter run on Mac Apex; Mac Essential, Mac Plus and Mac Premium run on Mac Crown. Check your address on each network before you choose, then pick the plan whose network is strongest where you live and work.

What are Mac Crown, Mac Apex and Mac Orbit?

The names we sell our three national 5G networks under. Mac Wireless is a mobile virtual network operator: we buy capacity on national networks and sell service under our own names and prices. The towers are nationwide; the plan, the bill and the person who helps you are ours.

Does a good result on the map guarantee signal indoors?

No. The map shows the signal a network expects outdoors. Inside, walls, metal roofs, energy-saving glass and basements all cut it down, and phones differ. If one room is weak, turn on Wi-Fi calling — calls and texts then travel over your home internet.

What is the difference between 5G and LTE on the map?

Both carry calls, texts and data. 5G is the newer, faster layer where it is built; LTE (4G) covers more ground, especially in rural areas. A 5G phone uses 5G where it is available and moves to LTE on its own elsewhere, without dropping a call.

Can I check coverage before I buy anything?

Yes. The ZIP and address checks need no account and cost nothing, and neither does the phone check: enter your phone's IMEI and we test it against all three networks before you pay. Then compare plans with the network in mind.
