The past month we’ve endured a few challenges in trying to stay connected to friends and family. We both have “smart” cellphones which are supposed to allow us to use the phones for calls as well as Internet functions. That’s all well and good as long as we’re in range of receiving a cellphone signal. You’d think by now all cellphone providers would have coverage everywhere in North America.
Various cellphone companies tout their coverage areas, but if the population is not there, neither are they. Even in the geographical center of the State of New Hampshire, our cellphone provider has no signal that we can get calls on. (Can you hear me now?) But once we travel back in to their coverage area, the messages we didn’t know we missed come through
If it weren’t for campgrounds offering WiFi, we’d be traveling blind - no phone, no Internet, nothing. Remind me now, how did we function before these inventions? Made me feel like the pioneers who crossed this country in covered wagons.
