To say that there is no coverage in a given place is possible only if all the people nearby have no signal. Most often, such a problem can be encountered outside the city. In some areas, low-lying areas may also lack network coverage.
MegaFon towers in urban areas are built quite densely, so, as a rule, there are no problems with the signal. However, due to the large number of buildings, there may be individual sections with poor coverage or with its complete absence.
