Editor’s Note: The cities listed here represent the 20 largest cellular markets in the United States. Ranking is based on the total number of subscribers in each Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Most carriers are unwilling to reveal subscriber numbers because of the highly competitive nature of the business. RCR tallies for total market subscribers and penetration rates are estimates.
