The recent nationwide outage involving AT&T brought attention to the question of how to communicate without cell service. It’s not the first time there has been a communications disruption and it won’t be the last.
This outage also raised new concerns of possibly a wider shutdown of service due to a large solar flare event or some type of attack.
Experts say this is why having a landline is always advised. Others say it’s inconvenient, but manageable.
