Your Home Called...It wants to talk too!

In today's society, to not have a cell phone would almost place you in a category of being archaic. If you weren't able to play games, text people, check your Facebook status, what would you do on the elevator or walking from place to place?  In all the time you spend on your mobile entertainment system, did you ever stop and think how the home feels?  Did you consider the total effects of not having a landline in your house?

The first thing to consider is the fact that your life, even as busy as it may be, is not 24 hours a day away from your home. At some point you do have to go home, especially if you have a family with kids.  We all have experienced some of the pitfalls of cell phones at home; starting with the dreaded "low bar" areas within your house or backyard.  How many times have you had dropped calls in the most comfortable area of your house? Never mind the fact that your carrier promised that this phone has strong reception and that their coverage blankets the city you’re in. No matter what, there is always some blank spots or spots in your house that seem to not have the best reception.

Do you really want to deal with a choppy scratchy call when you are talking to loved ones or about your personal business? How many times have you walked away from your phone accidentally leaving it on silent to come back to a missed call?

At the end of the day, no wireless network is flawless. So if your household has no landline phone in it and there is an emergency at school with the kids, do you want to risk not being able to be contacted because the cell phone isn’t working? 

In addition, what about the others in the house? Do you really want to have to pay for multiple cell phones? Besides you know how your kids are going to use them more than their school books, which means over charges, unless you are going to pay for unlimited.

The VOIP system isn't that much more comfort. VOIP is subject to power outages, viruses (since it is CPU based), deadlines as well as signal strength (bandwidth) when other devices are using the internet in your home.

If you were to be robbed, how are you going to call the police?  We all know that thieves target cell phones and computers. The weather can also have a major effect on both cell phones and VOIP. Just ask the victims of Hurricane Sandy and Hurricane Katrina. The landline though can work through power outages and won’t rely on the cell phone towers everyone else is using.  If you can’t talk on a call to emergency services on a landline they have your address automatically and can send services to you.

About 64 percent of homes in the U.S. still have landlines. The call quality of a landline is superior to those of cell phones and through power outages. Landlines help you buffer out unwanted calls to your cell phone by being a main point of contact.

The landline helps your home feel safe, especially via a home security system. So keep your home happy and in touch with its own phone. And if you want to save money with better rates on your long distance service, contact National Access long Distance. 

The Family Line

The landline should always be the primary choice when it comes to the family phone at home.  Even if every member of the household has their own cell phone there are still many benefits and a need to maintain the landline. For most people the home phone is always known as that permanent number where they can reach or be reached at home. A number that is part of the home! Cell phones on the other hand are always changing and sometimes the number as well. It’s good to have a landline number the entire family knows and can depend on whenever they want to reach home.

One reason to keep a landline for the family phone is its reliability and dependability. The landline phone is still there whenever the power goes out or a cellphone breaks, is lost, or loses reception.  It acts as a life line when children or family members need to make an emergency call and there is no other way.  To have a phone to rely on for a situation like that is reason enough to keep a landline in the home.

Landlines are universal and great for family households. Instead of paying for each individual cellphone number which can get expensive the larger the family, anyone can pay one fee for the land line number and put a phone in every room in the house.

It is simple to see how important it is to keep a landline in the home. Maintaining a landline is a necessity to doing the best in taking care of the family household. The family home would not be complete without a landline. To save money on long distance contact National Access Long Distance.

The Family Phone

Does my family still need a landline? Are we paying for something we do not need? Many families are considering these very questions when it comes to their home phone service. More and more families are canceling their home phone service and just using cell phones to make all calls. Before you completely give up your family's landline service, there are some things you should consider.       

    

The most important thing when you have a family is keeping them safe and always being able to get ahold of them when you need to. When it comes to reliability and dependability you can't beat a landline. Your landline does not lose signal or reception and you can always count on being able to make or receive calls when you need to do so. Your landline is stationary; it’s always at your house; it can't get lost or stolen.

What if something happens at home and your cell phone is with you? How will your family get the help they need? When raising a family you never know what or when something could happen. When your family is in danger or in need of medical attention and seconds count, it's important to be able to get the help you need when you need it. Keeping your home phone you have peace of mind knowing your family will always be able to get ahold of you or anyone they may need in a true emergency.

In today's economy making every dollar count is also important especially when you have a family depending on you to meet all their needs. You may think that by cutting your home landline off you will be able to save some extra money each month. Yes, this is true; however, what many families do not realize is there are ways to keep the reliability of a landline and also save money each month.

The family phone is affordable and reliable with National Access Long Distance as your long distance carrier.

Everybody's Parachute!

Keeping your landline makes sure every family member or visitor is safely grounded.   With a landline you have a "go to resource” when a natural disaster or emergency occurs.  

Landlines have secure power, are easy to locate and usually aren't silent. Consider this:

• Landlines are never incapable of making a call due to cell tower volumes which can be compromised during power outages or civic emergencies.  
• You know exactly where your phone is every time you really need it. Imagine if someone was breaking into your house and you couldn't find your cell phone?
• Have you ever tried looking for your cell phone when it's changed to silent mode? Unless you remember exactly where you left it, you could be searching for hours. But not with a landline; it won’t slip under the couch pillow when on silent.

With a family phone, signal strength is never an issue. For some people, reception can be poor even in their own home. Sometimes you don't find this out until you switch carriers and then you are stuck with a spotty service or static on the line. But have you ever heard of that happening with a landline.

Many people in your home need to depend on a landline. Be it a visitor without a cell phone, a child or grandma, your landline has you covered - just like a parachute.
