When we lived on the Outerbanks of NC we were without power for 6 days, which if I had a cell phone I would not have been able to charge it. There were other times we lost power due to hurricanes but for shorter periods of time.

We were in an neighborhood that had underground utilities but the power lines along the main road went down, but the phone lines were never affected, why I have no idea.

Do have a prepaid trace phone for when we travel.
