there is no service or you are too far from a tower

Cell phones communicate with radio towers that are called cell towers, their signal can go only so far based on their power and physical obstacles which in some cases can be buildings. Usually dead spots are due to being in an area that does not receive an adequate signal from one or more cell towers.
