I think I've got your statements figured out.

Cell phones or cell phone systems may break down and leave you w/o communications.

Amateur radio may break down and leave you without communications.

It is possible, but what are the odds that both will be down at the same
times, especially since I have backup for ham radio. It is much more
likely that the cell phone or cell phone system will leave me without
cell phone communications than my ham radio will leave me without the
ability to communicate via ham radio.
