Question

Do you have a quothomequot phone?
Lets face it.... landline phones are becoming a thing of the past. Do YOU have a phone in your house and why or why not?

Answer

Yes.brbrIts an essential device. If the power fails, like in a natural disaster, it will usually work even when all other services do not. Your cell phone will eventually die.... or the power at the cell tower will be out too.... rendering your cell phone useless. Also, if the power is out, the cable modem phones, or internet phones, cannot work. The standard land line phone, the old telephony standard, is powered by volts of DC power. Each Central Office located within about miles of your home has giant diesel engine generators that kick on automatically when the phone service dies.brbrAlso the old fashion telephone companies dispatch trucks to high elevations to transmit your HiCapacity lines via microwave to bypass dead areas that occur if trees or the like brings down poles that supported phone lines.brbrIf youre out of power for a week or more.... youll really know how important the land line corded not cordless is.... and you would NEVER be without one again.
