I don't understand the technical reasons behind it, but being able to make reliable phone calls does not mean you can send a text message or load a webpage.
The service in Furnace is sometimes good enough to load a webpage, but usually not. Same goes for stovepipe. It's probably dependent on the number of phones connecting to whatever tower is providing the signal at any given time.
