I bought a house last year in out in nature where I couldn't get cell service unless I drove down the road a ways. I couldn't find a phone company that could install a landline in my home though. It was weird. From my understanding so many people prefer cell phones that companies discontinued the service. Even big companies like AT&T couldn't do it. I finally was forced to get a cell phone booster so I could use a cell phone. I had no clue they discontinued landlines in certain places like my super small town.
