even if cell towers have batteries/generators, when the blackout in Spain happened, they got overloaded very quickly. So even if you had signal reception on your phone, you couldn't use it to check the news.

Luckily, I had intermittent access most of the day, but lots of people in big cities had no internet from minute 0.
