In the US, maybe east of the Mississippi. In Europe, not so much.

I just drove from Colorado to California and back. Although I had cell coverage most of the way with my iPhone, probably 70%+ of the time, I couldn't even pull email/surf even though I had almost full bars. Talking and SMS would work great, it's just the data was useless. (this was on EDGE and 3G)

If you went through Wyoming that is because in Wyoming you are on a partner network, which does not allow ANY data. Texting and voice work, but there is not enough bandwidth to allow data, would be nice though. Then there are parts of Nevada that are on partner networks as well that I could also not pull any data. When I was on AT&T's network I could pull data just fine.
