They are really good for travel.

I mean what the fuck do you do if you are on the road and you need to make a phone call?

Have you tried looking for a pay phone lately?

There ain't none.

And the last time I used one which was several years ago I had to wait until this homeless looking Dude with about four green and black stumps in his mouth that were what was left of his teeth got finished with it. Do you really want to put your mouth up to a phone after seeing something like that?

I hoof it.....

My, he holds his head up high
When he goes walking by, he's my guy
He's a rebel and he'll never ever be any good
He's a rebel 'cause he never ever does what he should"

Actually, there are more payphones than you might realize. There are internet sites that list them, so you could prepare prior to a car trip and bring a listing. Or you could go old school and simply do without. There are still vast stretches of road up here without coverage, and many of the places people go to fish, hunt, and recreate are out of range. Folks seem to survive at a fairly good rate.

Except in my house. I have to go outside and down to the very end of my deck to get what is even then very spotty service.

I said REAL AMERICA.

The only parts of Tennessee that are in REAL AMERICA are Nashville and Memphis.

Everything else is part of REDNECKISTAN

That's because you live in Podunk.

People who can't go without a cell phone for five minutes kill me. Especially old farts like us. If you're over fifty and "can't live" without your cell, what in the hell did you do for the first thirty+ years?
