I would never notice it. I don't use the phone unless it is extremely important.
I guess I would be one of the last to know. Rarely does anyone call me, and I rarely call anyone. Once I did find out, I would start start growing a farm in my back yard and build a watch tower, I have always wanted one.
These. I just don't care about using a phone, so I generally don't. I have rollover minutes by the hundreds expiring every month, and I disabled text service. I thought I had it as cheap as I could get it, at about $40 a month, but Wallyworld has a $30 a month with 1k minutes and 1k texts.
Either way, I'd start off by kicking on the radio, and checking all available bands to see if any worked. Now if phone service, TV, AND radio are out, something has gone terribly wrong, and I'm loading up and starting the drive to my 80 in MO.
Heck, I might even wait for my wife to get home
