Cell phones don't work out here in the swamp. Too far from the towers, I'm located dead between the two nearest ones and neither gives me a signal. Last time my landline went on the fritz I had to drive four miles to get a good enough signal to call and report the outage.
But I've finally found a wireless company that will work here. Republic Wireless operates entirely on wifi when it's available and switches to a regular cell phone automatically if there is no wifi. And it's dirt cheap! Another big plus in my book.

Good coffee, good weed, and time on my hands...
