The “nearest tower” can be over 100 miles in some cases.
I got stuck in a mountain canyon back in 1987, and my bag phone could only find a cell that was 110 miles away, but the call still went through, from Pittsburg, California to Chico California where the cell was, and then to Pleasanton California where my office was.

Pittsburg, California I had couple of former co workers who lived in Pittsburg. Up until I got to the area, I thought the one in Pennsylvania was the only one.

‘87?
I thought only smoke signals would work back then!
