   I'm guessing you don't spend a lot of time driving around out in the boondocks.   
      
   As soon as you get off main roads in a hilly area, cell signals are   
   hit and miss. Here in not particularly rural upstate NY I can show you   
   places on state highways where there's no cell signal at all.  I expect   
   western Mass is the same way.
