Check your coverage maps for your cell plan before your trip so you can warn people that you will look like you fell off the edge of the earth in some areas. WHen I did Pacific Coast trip from Astoria to San Fransisco, I had cell coverage maybe 50 percent of the time, my traveling partner might have had coverage 60 percent of the time on a better plan. But there were times that neither of us had cell coverage.
I have a very low cost cell plan, there are entire states where I have zero coverage.
