No that I live quite rural I will have to become use to things like literally no cell service.
Usually you only see that in trashy horror films, but I guess life is stranger than fiction.
Right now I have a new sim in my phone connected to a second laptop to then share its hotspot like a savage.
Now that does not sound all bad, and I guess it is not, turns out there is always or mostly at least one cell tower around here that tends to remain un-thieved.
The plan then is to just have a backup of ever cell network in town. I am gonna be like those dodgy dudes with two cellphones and 4 numbers.
Like wtf do you do with more than 2 Numbers? I get a second backup one which is good for ghost messaging and swearing people but I am not so sure about a 3rd and 4th.
Fortunately it is more just bumpkin than country and the Tech should come fix the damn satellite soon for more reliable internet and then I can get back to using my phone as a glorified wakeup alarm.
I don't think it is a case of "oh deary me no internet" either, I can do lots without but when I do need it then well I need it to get shit done, the obvious communications aspects aside.
I think the oddest bit is frankly that the network literally goes away though, not that there is no LTE but there is literally no network and the phone just says "Emergency Calls Only" , it is such a good reminder of just how pathetic infrastructure still is when you aren't in one of the cashcow regions.
