Depends on where you are. Look at the coverage maps for most cell providers. East of the Rockies you have coverage almost everywhere. As you start getting out West you have vast areas of middle of no where land with no coverage. If you are on a freeway in the middle of no where, coverage will be a lot better. For example I-80 through Nevada has coverage all of it's length. But get off of I-80 in the middle of Nevada and you may drive for hours with no cell coverage. Yosemite Valley has cell coverage, but other remote areas of the park do not. Death Valley has coverage in the tourist areas in the valley, but going into and out of the park you got miles of no coverage.
I disagree, with your statement about Nevada coverage. 395 has great coverage all the way to California, Hwy 95 has moderate coverage, Some spotty areas, but overall acceptable to Las Vegas. Dumont Dunes, about 35 miles out of Baker Ca, in Death Valley area, good coverage, all with Verizon. I have tried most of the wireless services, Verizon is the best.
