Orange and Vodafone are the main providers amongst a few smaller ones.
Coverage is pretty good all over the place, with a very few exceptions such as the top of the Carpathian mountains and perhaps while passing thru large forrests while enjoying the view from the train
Now if you want to go to Constanta there are plenty of InterCity trains available however, and I'm not 100% sure of this but during this past summer they were doing heavy modernization work on the rail lines the train speeds were quite restricted. I have a couple of friends that reported a journey which takes 2 hours or so taking double that.
Again, I'm not sure if the work would be completed by the time you and your family arrive. They're working to increase the train speeds to 200+ km/h
CarpatAir (V3) offers service from OTP-CND although not daily. It's a 40 min flight, can't beat that
Enjoy your trip and feel free to let me know if you have more questions.
