With storms, people need to make emergency

cell phones are designed during emergencies to only allow 911 calls,
unless your a first responder. plus cell systems arent nearly as
resiliant as the old plain old telephone system thats being
abandoned....


That is how things used to be. Traditional wired carriers are running
away from that market as fast as they can and the wired providers of
today certainly aren't the Bell class of old.
