The phones were offered to all senators and at least half of the chamber accepted, according to CBS News, which cited people familiar with the program.
Senate Sergeant at Arms Karen Gibson told appropriators last month the phones would allow senators to maintain communications in case a man-made or natural disaster takes out standard communications in their corner of the country.
The report said the phone program is part of a broader effort to help lawmakers secure their homes and coordinate with local police departments after a series of concerning events.

Having messed with this before, the monthly use is a big chunk of money. I’m curious who is paying.

These phones are subject to public records laws. Time to start doing FOIA requests on the phones.

For local comms if a quick response or help is needed, they'd be better off with one of these and a maybe a ham license if they want to abide by the law for once. Only $20 from China and not really "smart" enough to be a spy device.
