Land line is still better.
10 reasons to keep your home phone
Thinking of giving up your home phone? Before you cut the cord, consider these reasons why most Americans still consider a home phone to be indispensable to the safety and happiness of their family.
1. The satellite TV providers will charge you an extra $6 a month if you can't plug in your satellite receiver to a landline phone jack. You will have problems ordering programming and many TV features won't work.
2. Most home security systems rely on your home phone line to instantly alert security companies about threats to the home from burglary or fire.
3. Conversations are not dropped because of poor signal quality.
4. Local 911 services have the caller’s exact location when a caller calls from a landline due to your home phone’s direct connection with the 911 network. Emergency services may not find you on a cell phone.
5. Your fiber optic line is the most reliable, secure and fastest way to deliver high-speed internet to your home. Save up to $32 a month when you bundle your phone and DSL or Fiber Optic Broadband service with Direct Communications.
6. Your home phone provides unlimited local calling and affordable long distance. No counting minutes or expensive penalties for going over your allotted time.
7. No surprises on your phone bill—you know what it will be each month so can mange your household budget more effectively.
8. A home phone is easy and cheap to buy and replace. Cell phones are very expensive, and the usual accompanying contracts extremely costly to you in the long run.
9. Your home phone service has its own power backup, so will keep working during extended power blackouts. (Make sure you also keep a simple phone in the home that doesn’t require batteries to operate in case of power outages.) A Voip phone won't work in a power outage, and your cell phone battery will go dead eventually.
10. Direct Communications is your local company and is completely committed to our rural community. Your local phone dollars are all channeled directly back to building up and improving your Eagle Mountain communications infrastructure. Don’t send your phone dollars out the valley to be sucked up by wireless mega-corporations. Do they really care what happens to your town?
