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.

The Lasting Landline

Since its inception in 1875 the telephone has been a device destined for great communication.

The landline telephone enables people to easily communicate with one another at great distances unlike any other device can. I doubt even Alexander Graham Bell could have imagined just how great his invention was.

The landline phone has been around for over a hundred and forty years.  Many technology advances have been spin offs of the original landline.  Many of these are similar to the original and are technological wonders in their own right, but the original wonderful creation, that marvelous achievement that changed the way the world talks to one another, is still king! The landline telephone is the time tested standard that all new devices attempt to imitate. The landline reigns supreme and empowers the users to call anywhere at any time.  While the cellular phone says call when I have enough bars and only when you have enough minutes. 

Homes and businesses alike throughout the entire world enjoy daily use of the worry free, affordable landline. From the most remote villages in far off lands, to the very shops in Boston where Bell and Watson first called out to one another with those now immortal words "Watson come here. I have something I want to show you".

Since that now historic day, many advances have been made to the device itself, including the way connections are relayed or made from one continent to another.  The telephone has been modernized to enhance the functionality for our modern world. But, the same basic premise that launched this enormously successful device remains the same. The home phone line enables the user to speak to whoever they wish, whenever they wish to do so. Be it at long distances, across the street or even within the same building.

Many of our top government agencies use a landline when security is of the importance. This is true because a landline is not so susceptible to the interception of anyone who might be monitoring the airwaves with ill intent. That’s true for all of us. It is for that very reason so many top business use the landline as a means to transfer sensitive data from one location to another. For example ATM and credit card machines use this simple way to secure the safety of information being sent for processing via the landline.

Yes, it is hard to imagine that Bell could have ever expected the telephone he invented so many years ago would become a household item

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.  The same goes for the landline. The landline works to meet our needs in the crisp, clear, secure way, only it can.
