Hello everyone,
I'd like to know if I've used the expression "cell phone/mobile reception" correctly. Please, take a look at the examples:
a. I get good cell phone reception here on the farm. (=The signal on my cell phone/mobile is good and allows me to make and receive calls.)
b. I'm getting bad cell phone reception today. (= The signal on my cell phone/mobile is bad and doesn't allow me to make and receive calls.)
Thank you very much in advance!

I am twenty two. I remember when dial-up internet was normal and America Online free trial floppy disks came in the mail. and cell phones were in suitcase sized bags (my parents have had "cell phones" for 15 years) and cassette tapes weren't just hipster cool, they were normal cool.

Not literally, of course. I mean, their mood changes for the worse when their phones are lost or are being repaired... or even if their battery or signal is just gone

why not? don't like to be bothered or just no one to bother?
I have a 1960s rotary dial phone in my bedroom I can use for all the phone calls I need to make. as far as text messages and that shit go, well it's pretty obvious that I despise them, telephones are made for talking. If I could get my hands on a 1980s cell phone and have it turned on so I could use it, I would.
