And even if you did it, it could not be depended on, or conclusively validated. OSM is the wrong place. The right place might be: - https://www.cellmapper.net/ - https://www.opensignal.com/ - https://opencellid.org/ - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.zamojski.soft.towercollector&hl=en_US&gl=US - https://location.services.mozilla.com/ With the caveat that actual coverage depends on weather, luck, and how many tin foil hat pigeons from the https://birdsarentreal.com/ folks have surreptitiously staged in the area. If you want to map something related to poor cell phone coverage, map the few remaining existing fixed pay phones <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dtelephone>. That in theory might be useful to someone.
