Cell phones are a good solution for some people.

While the phone company "local" free area is a few miles. The cell phone "local" free area in So California is the whole state of CA and most of Nevada.

Also you can get cell phone plans that have national coverage included in the rate, so no extra charges for long distance.

I live in Potter County, PA. There is NO cell-phone coverage here. If there was, we'd probably use one exclusively.
