Cellular coverage isn't universal in all parts of the country. If your phone can't find a tower, it can't connect you to anyone. Consider a half-dozen Jeeps strung out over a quarter mile of trail. You're the last guy in the line and you find the only rock in the swamp. You're high-centered in mud, and 20' further from the nearest tree than your winch line will reach. How do you call your buddies for help? |
