[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Not true, the landline is not always on. During the 2012 storms, we lost the landline too. It is not the same like we had back 20 years ago with the rotary type phones. When the cell phone towers went out in our neighborhood, the landline was dead too. I was insistent on having the landline for emergencies after the 911. But what's the point, if it is serviced by the same cellphone tower? [/quote] My landline is still copper. It is always on. We have yet to lose phone no matter the length of power outage. At some point in the future, I'm sure that'll change, for example if Verizon ever needs to do a repair (like what they did in NJ after Sandy). At that point I'll reconsider maintaining the landline, although I still have concerns about "child digging around for a cell phone in an emergency."[/quote]
