Cell towers by country
Cell Site Map lists the known locations of mobile phone masts, country by country. Pick a country, then drill down by region, city or postcode: every area page shows the nearest masts with their distance and direction, which carriers use them, which technologies they carry (2G to 5G), and an interactive map.
Each country uses the best open source available, and says which one. Where a national regulator publishes licensed sites, positions are verified; elsewhere they are community estimates shown with an accuracy radius. See Data sources for every source and licence.
