Is there cell service on the Sarria-Santiago segment?

Yes. Mobile phone coverage on the main Caminos is very good. You are unlikely to see any dead spots in that section.

I find the coverage to be better on all parts of the Camino than I have at home in southern Oregon.

Yes, get an eSIM from someone like Holyfly and you are good to go.

Yes except a km stretch where the bar A Paso do Formiga is situated in Portos. But if you stop there (to see the giant ant sculptures in their nice garden)you can pick up their Wi-fi.

Actually I encountered 2 deadspots in the last few weeks. Only discovered because people were trying to contact taxis. Both small in-between villages.
