That's what I have heard called a "Snickers Bar" phone. Never had one. But, it
ought to be OK so long as you remember to give it those two key presses before
putting it in a pocket or satchel.

There are some spots like that here in the Great American Outback. Around
Beardstown (where Georgia lives) is a major example. One of the "movers and
shakers" bought cell phone rights at the FCC auction then set his price so high
that only a couple of cell providers would meet it - he'd have been better off
in a financial sense had he been reasonable and received several income
streams.

Even without help - it's a pretty simple recipe and right tasty.
