The US would never purposefully cut of it's own communications, right? What would be the tells if that would have happened? And what could the average citizen do to be able to communicate regardless? Might be useful to always have that knowledge around, even if it isn't a personal threat to yourself today.

Get into Meshtastic or Meshcore! (So far I prefer meshtastic)

It's a citizen-run mesh network that allows text communication. It's not perfect and not 100% reliable (signal and hops limit delivery guarantees) but it's better than 0 ways to communicate in this kind of event!

I think one of the tells might be that all major providers go down, not just one.
