On my way home today I tried calling at my usual spot along the way,
but the call did not go through. The Bluetooth screen in the car had
a message about the phone connection. I pulled out my phone and it
had on the screen, a message reading

"no carrier available, emergency calls only"

I have no idea if it would work or not.



I travel a lot and have never seen that. Maybe you have some sort of
limited plan that doesn't include roaming onto other carriers except for
911?


No, it is an areas with ATT coverage but sometimes poor signal. There
are times I've not connected there but the fist time I ever looked for
the message.
