Cellular service is great, easy to use for even the simple-minded, portable, light weight, compact, reliable; as long as one remembers the weakest link......battery power. So backup batteries must be carried if there is no electricity to charge batteries. The batteries must maintain long shelf life, so you don't have to maintain a charge level on the backup! 

This will be great; as long as there is a back-up plan. Don't know if youngsters these days have ever thought of backup, technology these days is beyond backup LMAO!

Thanks for the link, its an interesting system, AT&T should be able to maintain it; even though its a much different company of the 70's; one that was not required to make a profit!
