1. A computerized method of estimating a cellular site location, the method comprising:
receiving, at a home carrier network, data metrics from a plurality of different user devices corresponding to communications using a roaming carrier network, the data metrics stored on the plurality of different user devices during the communications using the roaming carrier network;
filtering the received data metrics using a mobile country code (MCC) and a mobile network code (MNC) to identify the roaming carrier network;
grouping the filtered data metrics corresponding to a cell within the roaming carrier network;
determining a source of a signal corresponding to the cell based on the grouped filtered data metrics; and
estimating the cellular site location using the determined source of the signal, the estimating including combining locations of a plurality of cells with a same eNodeB ID and determining a center of the plurality of cells with the same eNodeB ID, the center being the estimated cellular site location.
