All good points, I think. I was not aware cell towers have to be within 3
miles for cell phones to work. How do they do it in Cambodia? I was there
a couple of years ago and reception was outstanding---surprised me no end.
Never saw a cell tower anywhere.

You will have greater range under ideal line-of-sight conditions but
with the power and antenna limitations here in the US, you aren't likely
to get a whole lot more than that, I would say 10 mi tops. Throw in
trees and terrain and you may not even get 3 miles.

Point is, don't count on a cell phone if you are off the beaten path.
