Cell access is much more spotty than you realize even in fairly densely populated areas (of the sort that rando rides would generally be done in). And there can be surprising dead zones.
Also, the different networks have different coverage/distribution. VZ is (was?) poor in VT (ATT is better).
Some networks work better in highly populated (T-Mobile and Sprint) and might not be very useful at all on a ride.
