[Hidden-tech] cell service in Shelburne Falls/Buckland

On a related note, I use one of the Verizon units in Phillipston and
have had great results. Otherwise, I have to wait for the wind to be
the right direction for me to make a cell phone call.
I purchase mine as a business expense, but I've also heard that the
carriers may offer one for free. Access to DSL or better, however, is
required. (The contents of the call goes over the 'net.)
