Yeah but they used Nextel phones. I do remember that scene. It was a metal railroad boxcar buried out in the middle of the desert and the phone worked from inside. Obviously, the series' writers had never lived in the country. I'm in the hills of rural New Hampshire at the moment. No T-Mobile, no ATT, no GSM at all. Verizon is the only carrier with a usable signal and it comes and goes.
P.S. Yesterday I was in downtown Boston and my Telna phone flipped around between working, "No Access to Net", and "Unregistered SIM" at random intervals. Even turning it off and on did not always fix the problem.
