Even the cops that stop by to visit me run straight to the phone and call dispatch to tell them to call them at my house as their phones and radios won't work here in this area at times. And I would only want a very basic one with none of the frills, as it would never be used unless I had an emergency and then most likely I would not be able to get a signal. I may go to Walmarts after the Holiday season is over and look at what they have.

Yea the signal is a must always that is why I recommend one of each technology because (as I am sure you are aware) the different signal types react differently to the same environment. Better chance that 1 of them will have a signal. I would suggest a flea market and get an old one that still works. You might be able to pick up a few for the price of a new one.
