I’m old and live rural and alone, so the 911 feature is attractive to me as well as the ability to communicate during power emergencies. The land line is my main reach #. My cell is a Tracfone that stays in my vehicle for emergencies. I’ve got several hundred minutes that roll over thanks to deals for the cell for $7/mo and $54/mo for my landline..... I can live with that.
Oh, and before any hams out there start jumping on me to go to radio, I live in the NRQZ.
