Funny, I commonly don’t have signal in 1 of my 2 hunting blinds…I’ll let my wife know when I go to the no signal blind and I sometimes go there just to make sure I can’t be reached Car guy.

We act like it's the end of the world, but I remember the days of pagers and finding a landline to make a call. Spend time with the ones you love. Time is not guaranteed.

Mine squealed too but southwestern bell changed coin phones to 25 cents in 1995. Oh. My injured rabbit was from mid 70's. I should have added, with our dime, we called an local answering service and spoke to a live person. LOL. By '95, I had a smart beeper and pay phones were a quarter. However, after dark, the drug dealers used many pay phones as an office and didn't mind telling you so. So, I had a cell phone in the truck. It was a bag phone. Still have the same number.
