Sean, do you know anyone who has successfully used either to place a
call? =20
I think the weak spot is when the tower overloads nobody can dial
anything, including the bypass..

That would be the Nationwide Wireless Priority Service. Authorized
users can dial *272<destination> to get priority on supported wireless
networks. If the landline networks are also backed up, they can make
the call to (710) NCS-GETS which is the gateway number for the
Government Emergency Telecommunications System which provides the same
priority on POTS lines.
