GPS On Cell Phones Are Satellite-Based Or Provider's Coverage-Based?

I have a Motorola Hint with MetroPCS (I love them both) My phone has built-in GPS capabilities. I have used it couple times & the little thing is actually very, very accurate. My question is, does the cell phone's GPS capabilities only works while the phone is under the provider's coverage??? Will it work with just the satellite signal?? Want to travel outside my coverage area & I dont want to get lost...Any ideas??? Thanks in advance...
