If I were to dial 911 (which I’ve done), I would be immediately connected to the local sheriff with crystal clear reception. There’s a global land-based cell phone network; we’re just not in that club!
Well theres a priority mode in the signalling protocol and it flags the packets as high priority, ups the power, will drain the battery and will boot others off the cell (why you lose your call more often in cities) if you dial the emergency number. There's a story of an engineer who hacked their phone to use high priority all the time to get a better signal.
In the UK, we have tile roofs which are hundreds of years old. If you keep the water out, these things last forever.
5g...I avoid using the microwave at all (only for sterilising things) and when I do, I stand well back. I try and keep the phone out of my pockets and in a bag instead
