    I have a Verizon cell phone. All works great until the power goes out. The tower allows calls to be made for a few hours (The length of time seems to vary – I assume it is running on a battery backup). Then the service drops to only being able to send text messages. If the outage in days long then texts do not go through either. Now admittedly, I’m very far from the tower on Bigfoot Circle. So that may have some impact on my experience. But my AT&T land line always works.

    I would suggest a cell phone. Verizon has put up a tower at Bigfoot Circle. It works great.

    Abicat, There are no other land line providers in BTV. Only AT&T. Of course, you can have a internet based phone line if you have internet access. However it will not work without power. Where the old school AT&T land line will work without power. And over the 23 years we have been in Big Trees, it has worked through all sorts of storms. It is surprisingly robust. Carl

    Anyone have suggestions on “landline” telephone service other than AT&T?
