Easiest way to test different cell phone carriers coverage in specific areas? Not old data live results.

If even possible. Not like just a speed test or whatever. Like a real world test. (Like a app that browses the web, streams video, etc as you are using your phone when your really not yourself)

I’ve struggled with this as well. “Easiest” is subjective. Most carriers offer return policies and cancellation windows. Might even include free phone but I’d BYOD in these circumstances. Sign up for a monthly plan, activate, try it out, return/cancel if it sucks. I have spare iPhone in case knucklehead kids break theirs. I’ve used the spare for this purpose in the past.
