I could give you a list of a lot of places! Parts of Mount Tam, parts of
Big Basin, parts of Tilden park, parts of Forest of Nisene Marks state
park, areas north of Pescadero on Pescadero Road in San Mateo County,
much of Old La Honda Road, actually quite a bit of rural San Mateo County.

Verizon AMPS is widely used in the Bay Area, including for the roadside
call boxes on many of the roads.
