Can't speak for 911 (we live so far out in the sticks no one can find us anyway) but our cell phones have proven to be more reliable than land lines. Cell towers have back up generators and I've not experienced a single outage in the 3 years we've been cell only. Contrast that to our land lines that were out for 2-3 days at a time on more than one occasion when construction crews accidentally cut underground cables.
