Getting a cell signal in parts of Great Falls in Virginia, near McLean and close to the CIA and DC can be difficult, and that is a fairly well populated section of the Virginia suburbs, and even a so-called high rent district. Thank goodness I have an old timey, and some believe obsolete, wired telephone at home here in Fauquier County, VA. During the recent storm electricity was out, cell signals were iffy at best as is usual, complicated even more by snow and blowing wind, and cell phone batteries died, but that old telephone technology just kept on cranking without fail. I even distributed two of those old "obsolete" phones to neighbors who only had cordless phones that do not work without electric service, and that was down for nearly five days.
