      Not sure if this is a thing on other android /iOS devices,but this setting is very much appreciated on graphrneOS

      And you can set your network to ONLY use LTE and check the towers your phone is using by using the hidden testing setting on Android by entering

      *#*#4636#*#*
      

      on your phones default dialer.

      And this app for android is particularly useful:

      https://f-droid.org/packages/com.craxiom.networksurvey

      Scans cell towers, WiFi signals, Bluetooth, and notifies if a new tower is found.
