Many landline customers are facing the dilemma of
cancelling their home telephone because they feel like having both a cell phone
and a landline is too costly. When in fact, landlines allow for clearer calls, more privacy and 911 address accuracy. A landline does not use
software and your calls travel over permanent terrestrial circuits. In layman’s
terms, your calls travel by wire over the land, as opposed to cell phones
connecting with the telephone network using radio waves.
Top 10 reasons you still need a landline:
1. Landlines offer a clear channel of communication without the white noise or
dead zones.
2. Landlines are reliable in extreme weather, power outages and in other
emergencies. Landlines do not rely on
electricity or towers, making them more dependable.
3. Landlines provide a direct connection for your home security systems, DSL,
dial-up connections or VOIP systems.
4. Landlines offer more protection against debit or credit card fraud, since
it is more difficult for eavesdroppers to tap into a wire to steal personal
information. Hackers can easily purchase
a device that intercepts the radio waves used for a cell phone call.
5. Landlines give users peace of mind and added security by providing a
different phone for sales calls.
6. Landlines prevent your family from being tracked because they do not have
location-based services (GPS).
7. Landlines provide your family members and guests with a telephone line. This way you are not inconvenienced when they
need to contact someone and their phone may be out of service.
8. Landlines are linked to the home address.
When the phone calls 911, the address automatically pops up on the responder’s
computer; regardless if a person can communicate or not, a 911 dispatcher will
send help!
9. Landlines are needed to locate our cell phones! Lost in the couch cushion? No worries, just call it with your landline.
10. Landlines have affordable monthly rates for unlimited local calling and at
no additional charge. Other phones may be easily plugged in to any existing
phone jack for the convenience of everyone.
