cell phones save lives
I have US Cellular also, and use an old Nokia model---5165 I think. Reception is spotty for me. I've considered changing to another company or another phone. I keep mine turned off and only use it to communicate my location, or call for help. A cell phone saved my life when I fell off a cliff and broke my leg on Mt. Mansfield, VT. I had to be med-evac'd off the mountian by the local rescue squad. I could have easily gone into shock and died.
Now I hike with a phone all the time. I haven't had to call for help since my broken leg in 1999.
