I wouldn’t have a problem ditching the landline but cell service is pretty much non existent here. To use my cell I have to go out to the middle of the lake.

Kinda like Green Acres.

That is when you lose all your guns in boating accidents too. <~:)

Same here The service is fantastic for such areas since it comes from satalitte not from towers. The tech who sold me mine said eventually or in he near future we’d get wifi and all TV from the same small box.
I’ve even taken it to friends who are more remote than I plugged it in there and it worked great. It’s mobile which is another plus in my book. As long as you have a plug. (Solar packs I’m told work just fine)

I use Tmobile, they include Wifi calling on all their smartphones except for the iPhone. I live way out in the sticks, cell service is inconsistent but the phone works fine with a wifi connection. This is also true where I work, we are on the ground floor of a large building, no cell service but I can call using the courtesy wifi.
