On these long stretches did you have cell phone service? And is it at all realistic to rent a satellite phone?
Actually, I didn't get cell phone service almost anywhere
My phone, which is from a Canadian company, didn't work in Alaska, Yukon, or Northern BC, even though I told my cell phone company before and during my trip about 5 times to turn on international roaming
There was also the time I saw this sign, but I didn't really mind since my phone didn't work anyway

My phone began working again in southern BC and in the states
I personally wouldn't worry about getting a satellite phone, I only brought a phone so that I could text people back home, which proved to be impossible since you need digital service for that anyway and everywhere up there it's analog
