Your Dependable Landline

            Sixty-four percent of American households keep their landlines because of trust. We trust our landlines to be reliable, secure and safe.

            Based on electrical principals and often time piggy-backed with electrical delivery systems that reach every home and business, landlines are infinitely more reliable than their mobile counterparts. Even better, landlines continue to work even if the power goes out because they are hardwired into the grid. This is again the opposite of their cellphone counterparts. Hard wiring also ensures a clearer, crisper signal.

            All over the news lately, we find government agencies, mass-collecting cellphone data. The NSA may not be interested in the business you conduct, but there is no protection from government intrusion because cellphone conversations are radio signals and are not considered by most states or the federal government as private and secure. Is this what you want?  Do you feel comfortable for your conversations to be listened in on without your knowledge or permission? The question may be asked, what can I do to stop this or can the government really do this legally and get away with it? To keep eavesdropping at minimum, keep your landline.

            Landlines also add a layer of safety to our lives. In case of emergency, landlines interact more effectively with 911 operations than cellphones. Locations of an accident or medical emergency are more precise with landlines, saving time and lives.

            We trust our landlines to be reliable and secure and to keep us safe. This is why the landline will continue to be a lasting part of American society.

Why the Landline is Underrated

Many people are thinking about abandoning their landline and switching over exclusively to their cell phone. It appears that the cell phone is more beneficial, convenient and cost effective.  Sometimes technology may seem better, but actually it can complicate life and cell phones are a good example of that.

For instance, when was the last time you washed your landline phone? Or, have you ever left your landline in the car and forgot it, so that you missed a day's worth of important calls? Of course not, because that can never happen! You always know where that landline phone is!  Sure, cell phones are a convenience you can take anywhere, but if that is all you have for communicating and you lose it, you can find yourself in needlessly stressful circumstances.

Don’t worry about counting minutes with your landline either!  Once you get home, put the cell phone down and rely on the landline to save some money.

Nevertheless, another problem that you run into with a cell phone is your privacy.  The ease with which cell phone signals can be intercepted is extremely alarming.   

Last, but not least, is when the power goes out.  Can you trust that they will come back on in a timely manner?  We know that lately the power has been going out for an indefinite amount of time with the natural disasters that have hit.  If you have a generator you are set up for success, however if not, you need to be ready!  The landline does not rely on a power source and can work regardless of how jammed the cell phone towers are.
