There will probably always be places with no coverage! The most
likely
reason for no coverage is a population density that is simply too low!
It costs money to construct and operate a cell phone tower. They can't
afford to install a tower to accommodate three customers!
ISTR that there is equipment such as a "micro tower". You can install
one that will provide service for your farm/ranch!
It's called a femtocell, yes, but that only works if you're on the
border of coverage, like I was with Verizon when I initially moved to
Apple Valley. If there's no coverage around you, a femtocell isn't going
to help matters.
But there is a version that simply requires Internet connectivity. Both
versions are sufficient to light up a medium size building.
