This is EXCELLENT advice. The only thing I would differ on is that if you
spend time out in the boonies, it is still worth having an AMPS capable phone
in your car as there are still many holes with digital [all services] and
murphy's law virtually assures that if you car breaks down, it will be in one
of those holes.
