I remember, more than ten years ago, when the director of the company announced that he was going to go fishing in the wild, that I insisted that he bring a satellite phone.
There is no mobile network there and that phone was very useful to him when he sprained his leg by stepping on a slippery stone in the stream where he started.
It was worth it that he had a way to call for help, because he would have struggled a lot with the injured leg.
When he went fishing in New Zealand, there were no such problems, there is an ordinary mobile phone available in every part of the country.

I've been to NZ and there's not cell service everywhere, but everywhere that fellow went probably had which means he didn't go remotely. There are many places no service is offered because there's no people there, or so few that the infrastructure costs don't make sense.
