[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For a wall phone, get a Cortelco 2554 or the older Western Electric model. It is line powered, so it will work if the power fails. Do _not_ get any sort of VOIP service as suggested above. You want a regular copper phone line from the local telephone company. The latter infractructure is built to a much higher degree of reliability than the Internet and is powered from the telephone central office. It will also properly communicate your address (including apartment number, if any) to 911 services.[/quote] Just wanted to echo this. I got a package from Verizon— not realizing that they were ripping out the copper wires until it was too late. [/quote]
