Cell service is likely to be spotty during eclipse gatherings.
Cell company spokespersons say sending a text to family and friends might be the easiest communication approach.
That works even for emergencies.
Local 9-1-1 dispatchers accept text messages if you can’t get through with voice calls.
Texting uses less capacity on cellular networks than does making a face-time call at a local gathering.
Keep in mind also that if you’re using WIFI calling, 9-1-1 dispatchers can’t see your location.
