I think it depends on where you are. I'm pretty sure the cell coverage in the concourses in ATL are just a series of cell signal boosters. Since they are focused within the terminal and not without, you would lose coverage. The articles during the power outage referenced the reason info wasn't getting into the terminals is because the cell booster antennas also lost power.
