Residential Voice Services
There remain a number of substantial advantages to having your own landline, even if you have a cell phone to supplement it. Two of the most obvious benefits are the use of a phone in the event of a power outage, and the ability for the 911 operator to detect your exact location. While cell phone service has improved drastically in recent years, reception nonetheless remains spotty in some areas, including some people's homes.
