[Hidden-tech] Satellite Phone

[Thomas Williams]

You wont want voice over Wild Blue unless you are willing to talk, wait,
listen, wait, talk. Very stilted, fairly expensive, long term contract.

 If there is a tower in a reasonably clear direction, then an antenna,
booster and cell phone should do the trick.
 For Shutesbury there are towers in New Salem, Pelham, and Amherst. I live
on a hill in Shutesbury and sometimes get 2 bars and 4G LTE in my bedroom.
Maybe your hill is not so well situated.
