I travel (by car) all the time, and it's not always on busy interstate. If there is decent population, some carrier covers it. I have NEVER been in a town in the continental US with a population over 1,000 that didn't have ANY cell phone coverage in the past 10 years.
I have. Nashville, Tennessee. In the downtown area I'd have 3 bars, sure, but at home (2 blocks from an AT&T store, I might add) I'd either have just an antenna icon (on my phone it means "signal level too low for voice") or nothing. And I lived close to downtown. As soon as I got on I-65 heading south, bam, no coverage.
