We retired in 2014 from a major city to a resort area 30 miles ( less than 20 miles as the crow flies) from a city of over 200k. We knew that we had lousy reception from the major cell carriers. The “local” land line carrier would not provide service. So, we put in a dish.

Keep in mind that a dish requires power. Lose power, loseyour phone dish. We have a small generator to use for extended power outages, but our working plan is drive to cell availability in a short term emergency.

Glad you’re prepared! I’m always surprised (and often livid) how little prep people do for themselves Hope you never need a 911 call!
