Ever since they built the new Verizon tower near our house (about 5 years now)
I've had better service than my wife's AT&T phone. Previously when I was on
Nextel and then Sprint she would usually have better service than me.
In '08 when we had our big ice storm she didn't have service for several days
while my phone was completely unaffected.
I think if I were in a household to give up the land line I'd want to be sure
we had cell phones from 2 different carriers.
We have 2 different carriers because mine is paid for by my employer.

Does the phone service work over the satellite, or a wireless carrier? I'm
on the MI UP now, and my Sprint phone has zero service. The wife's T-Mobile
is doing fine.
For covering even more potential emergency situations, power it with a small
gell cell battery and glue a solar cell on the sunroof to keep it charged -
thus you don't loose function when the car battery dies/shorts out.
I like Mitch's suggestion!
