Now imagine this happens in a remote area with no cell coverage. In Arizona those are a thing too.
In the middle of nowhere, maybe. But I've been on several road trips across the state and had service the entire way, mostly LTE with a few spots of 3G here and there. As long as you're near the highway or a town, you'll get service.
There are giant swaths of area with no coverage, especially in the mountains of arizona, including the freeways and especially highways. The entire western US can be spotty with signal out in the great wide open. It isn't until the Midwest and more east that one should largely not worry about signal coverage anymore.
