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
Here we have wooden bridges 100's of years old, and I've been to wooden temples in Japan in Kyoto I think over 1000 years old. If you keep the water off, the building will last! Some say wood can last even longer than concrete,
And, well, if it weren't for my microwave (a modern DC-Inverter model) I wouldn't be able to heat with my coffee. And as Barbara Kingsolver's husband said, "You can live without food, but you'll die without coffee".
higher frequencies 5G, 6G,... carry more information but they do not diffract around corners of buildings, mountains, walls. They are "line of sight" signals. Also, stay away from bluetooth earbuds & headphones. IMHO technologies that put radiating energy right up close to the head should be outlawed. One may be distant from powerful cell towers, but then ones cell phone has to radiate more power to reach that distant tower. I agree that fiber and local WiFi is the safest.

Yeah, someday, when it's cloudy at night, I plan to take my mobile spectrum analyzer out and locate the hidden cell receivers here in the forest!
