As I mentioned, I'm not all that interested in security. If I have an emergency, I sure as heck
want them to know where I am.
The "need" for on-the-road calls to my sons to tell them I'm running late has only developed twice, and if push comes to shove, we can always use the 2M Mt. Thorodin repeater*, through which you can also dial a phone number, BTW.
A little "awkwarder," but do-able.
All in all, it's a question of separating
need from
want.
The only other cell phone call I ever made was to my LGS to see if something I ordered was in. Saved me a re-routing of a trip to actually go there and find out.
So I'm starting to lean towards cutting off all cell phone service and relying on the 911 calling ability, which supposedly always works.
I think I'll charge up that old Nokia and check that out.
