Peer pressure, do or die. Government paid rescue, instant heroes celebs, no fees for rescue services, book deals, TV shows, survival stories, even millions in the bank! Or maybe just regular dumb asses who just didn't know you can get into trouble on an easy peak like Whitney, by me at times. Or whatever!

But it would at least be nice to have reasonable options to own a phone with higher transmission power (larger phone, perhaps) for use where better range is needed.
People have a choice. You can buy a satellite phone if you want.

A satellite phone would be great, but I never said I wanted one. What I did say is, "It would at least be nice to have reasonable options to own a phone with higher transmission power (larger phone, perhaps) for use where better range is needed."
Sorry, people don't always have a choice. In this case, there is no such system available.
