I use email for one of my part time towns, for the contractors to contact me. So far, it has been working OK.
The email account is only for that town, and accessable via my iphone.
During the Sandy storm, the phone was great, as access to internet and landlines was very limited, along with the power issues.
Utilizing wireless devices to maintain important ability to be contacted, or contact others is an asset.
BTW, I do not twitter, facebook, etc.
