To the OP... You can't get 1 Week, where you are allowed the solace of being incommunicado?
Who would take over if you were unconscious in the hospital ?
I would tell them, the other guy can handle it,
If it's that desperate they can send a telegram ( they deliver those)
And you can drive out to where you have your AT&T signal
Or get a Satellite Phone, out going calls only, to call them after you get the telegram
They can pay for the equipment to keep in contact with you, or do without you for that week,
I'm stubborn like that,
My scheduled personal/family time is just that
Now if you are Ceo of your own business, and micro manage, then shell out the bucks to stay in contact
If it's literally vacation time, I get your point.
But a lot of folks are able to work remotely and are able to spend more time away from the office, so technology it not so bad.
Currently sitting in Sri Lanka after spending 3 months in Thailand. I have a meeting with Michigan in a few hours. Without the ability to work remotely, we'd have had to spend winter in the cold snowy north.
To the OP: Find the service provider that has coverage of the valley, buy a burner phone and get a month to month plan. Last spring we picked up an android phone for $25 and a month unlimited plan was $50 (yes, there is throttling after X GB but not a huge issue except for watching high resolution videos).
