[Hidden-tech] land phone alternatives for Shutesbury/no high speed

[RA Cohen]

Dede are you very very certain you have no useable cell signal? How 
about immediately outside your home ... you need to check everywhere and 
know how to check ... If you find a very weak signal close to the house 
it could conceivably be amplified to provide good voice and somewhat 
acceptable data ... but you must be looking very closely and at all the 
carriers: Verizon, ATT and T-Mobile.

Signal might be at the high point of house, or might not, it is 
surprising how these frequencies actually travel.

You can find (online, of course) all the carriers' maps and signal 
footprints, but they are not 100% accurate. In my own case, I proved 
their maps inaccurate!

Hope this helps,

-Roy
