In most cases, cell phones will work. We advise you to check out your cell signal prior to an emergency. If your cell phone doesn’t have a signal, you may want to invest in our Guard Alert system which is an option that provides electricity, phone, TV, a ventilating fan and two emergency siren capabilities. The fan and siren are backed up with a 12 volt battery with a trickle charger that keeps the battery fully charged at all times. Typical functional battery time is 22 hours for the siren and fan after power is lost.
