There is no cellular signal at far point, and seems to be no likelihood that we're going to get any.
The Verizon Minitower has failed and we are not trying to resurrect it.

On an iPhone open Settings>Phone. About half way down, you will see Wi-Fi Calling. Turn this option On, Then you should be able to make (and receive) phone calls even though you not have cell signal.
