That all may have been correct at one time or another. But cellular service has been available most places I've wanted to go.
Yes, we can't go off deep into the wide wilderness, but we've gotten plenty away from cities. We've roamed quite a lot in the CONUS. Mexico and Canada are out for now given my job requirements, but it isn't due to concerns over cellular internet.
The places we’ve had no coverage with either AT&T and/or Verizon this year include Medina Lake, Texas, 30 miles west of San Antonio, East Fork COE CG on Lake Lavon just northeast of Dallas (no Verizon, very good ATT), Lake Tawakoni - east side south of Greenville, TX, Lake Eufaula Belle Star CG 20 miles south of I-40 in OK on US -69, Rocky Point CG on Lake Fort Gibson just north of Wagoner, OK, Lake Stockton, MO - 35-40 miles north of I-44. Everyone of these locations shows at least 3G coverage on the Verizon and/ or ATT coverage maps. But there isn’t coverage.
Now I will admit that we camp much of the year in COE campgrounds on lakes, state parks, and Thousand Trails campgrounds so those might be too remote for many people.
The absolute worst general coverage I’ve had with Verizon was New Jersey, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire and western Maine and Massachusetts in the summer of 2015.
The worst ATT coverage is in my home state of Arkansas but we are very seldom near cities over 10,000 pop or interstates. Verizon is better because they bought Alltel which had a good network in Arkansas.
