I got a Google "Project FI" phone about 3 months ago. Although I have not yet had it at the lake, the coverage maps look good. [They use the Sprint and T-Mobile networks, supplemented with WiFi, when available.] You buy a (discounted) Nexus 5 or 6 phone and pay $20 / month for unlimited talk / text. Data is $10 / Gig for what you use. I turned-off cellular data when I got the phone and limit my web use to WiFi areas. [I have yet to pay for data.] If I ever need to access the Internet away from WiFi, a couple of finger taps and I'm in business.
