I have a friend who is in Bosnia or Croatia right now (I forget where her parents live) and I know she said she gets no cell service out there essentially, so she's pretty much off the grid when she goes to visit them.Yeah, sometimes it gets that bad. Up until a few years ago, the signal of the TELE2 cellular provider on the island of Vir, where I used to have a summerhouse, was so low you couldn't make a phone call except from the shore. And, as far as I see, it's similar for all cellular networks even today in the town (or is it called a village, I don't know right now) of Tikveš, about an hour of driving north from the city of Osijek. I held a presentation about my work on toponyms there on a conference today: you can't rely on mobile phones there. But isn't the same true for many places in the US?
So far as I know, cell service is pretty reliable throughout most of the Sates. Though, some rural areas might struggle to get good service. I recently switched cell carriers; I left Verizon and couldn't be happier.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
