BT is being asked to restore a working telephone in a phone box in west Cornwall where locals argue there's a limited mobile signal.
Nancledra Parish Council said it was not consulted over the phone's removal and the service was a "vital" lifeline in an emergency.
BT said the phonebox was rarely used and its research concluded a signal did exist.
Parish council chairman Kevin Hughes (pictured) was adamant mobiles don't work in the village. He said: "It's a case of public safety, really. You won't get a signal for a mile-and-a-half north, south, east or west. We're in the bottom of a valley ... the phone box is essential."

A controversial sex scene in the eighth episode of the second series of hit Cornwall-based show Poldark is "definitely portrayed very much as a rape" and sends an "appalling message", a women's support charity says.
The scene, involves lead character Ross Poldark with his former fiancee, Elizabeth.
Sarah Green, of the charity End Violence Against Women, said: "The female character says 'no' and there are also non-verbal signs. She is moving away from him and pulling away from him. There is lots of stuff that is ambiguous."
She added: "It is a really appalling message, which is they have made the representation of non-consensual sex ambiguous by making her appear to change her mind."
Asked why she thought this was the case, she continued: "The problem the producers have found, because this character is extremely popular, they can't represent him as that, they can't represent him as doing something criminal."
