Lots of people where I am can't get cell service. I can't get much in the house without a booster. Neighboring villages have upgraded people to fiber optic, offering tv, Internet, etc. at not too bad prices. My village is not doing that, they are small and independent. They said they were going to get "some" of us upgraded to fiber optic in 5 years so that we could get Internet from them, up to 4 meg. I get up to 4 meg now from the regional cell carrier, and it's cheaper than the phone company's 4 meg by a lot, and the data cap is high enough that it isn't a concern.

Anyway, it was about $35 for local only service, and the phone line quality was VERY poor. So I got a Straight Talk home phone connect and no longer have call issues. It has a battery backup, and if the booster goes out, gets better reception than a regular cell phone in the house, it works. And if something would happen to a cell tower, the competitor's is right next to it, and used to get service when the cell towers were 30 miles away, so the odds of everything failing in an emergency is pretty slim. Now instead of $35 per month plus long distance charges, I pay $16 with tax for unlimited calling everywhere. My cell phones on Page Plus, 2, add a total of $60 -per year- for more service than I use. And with the wireless setup, I have them all set up to use Google voicemail, the same voicemail. If someone calls the house or any phone, I can either have it automatically forward the calls to a cell phone, or have it leave a message without forwarding. If they leave a message, it can forward a transcribed text and/or email to whatever phone I choose so I can -read- their voicemail. So if there's an emergency or something, someone can call and I'll know right away wherever I am.
