I have a cordless phone but it doesn't work if the power is out. The phone company has back-up power units that keep the juice flowing when the grid goes down. You make an excellent point about the use of cell phones to possibly trigger devices. Thanks for the insight on this!<br /><br />RWriverwalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01575212890278793911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-36474384012913687612009-07-09T17:20:52.852-05:002009-07-09T17:20:52.852-05:00Keep a regular phone line in your home.

Your cell may not work if there's a explosive type terror attack and cell service is disrupted to avoid another bomb being triggered by one.Home on the Rangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03836315423040719919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-26952598560315057472009-07-09T09:13:10.280-05:002009-07-09T09:13:10.280-05:00To: Sn00p-Diggity-Dang-Dawg

Cell towers may be down in some localized areas but will still be working in other areas where towers are still working. Youe best bet is to probably have several different options available. Thanks for bringing up the usefulness of the handheld radios in an emergency. Thanks.<br /><br />RWriverwalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01575212890278793911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-27711248489654866742009-07-09T08:02:31.599-05:002009-07-09T08:02:31.599-05:00No disrespect, but I wouldn't rely on cell pho...No disrespect, but I wouldn't rely on cell phones. Once the cell tower repeaters go down your cell phone will be as useful as a hockey puck.<br /><br />Get some good CB radios or 2-way hand-held radios. I recommend Motorola.<br /><br />Snoop-Diggity-DANG-DawgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-27444837299778820382009-07-08T08:49:52.230-05:002009-07-08T08:49:52.230-05:00To: Dean in AZ

I have a scanner but failed to mention it in my post but thankfully I have great friends and readers who always let me know if I miss something.
