The only place in North America I have been where I didn't have coverage was Alaska. No big surprise there.
I believe there are dead spots. I just have a hard time believing it is as wide spread as this thread makes it seem.
My best friend with a Verizon phone has shitty service everywhere, so it works both ways.

I've been with them since they were originally AT&T wireless, too. And to this day, there are a number of places around here where I can tell someone "I'm probably going to lose you in a minute, I'll call you back when I can".
And coverage in the mountains is non-existent. When my friend has his accident out there this summer, I had to chase someone down to use their US Cellular phone to call 911. My wife has come to accept that she won't hear from me for 3-5 hours at at time because I just can't get service.
A lot of your touring you do of the countries is on interstates, right? Cellular networks are built around highways, so that's usually not a problem area. Get out in the sticks though and the difference become very apparent, very quick.
