ConnectMyPhone Gives 10 Reasons for Keeping Your Landline Connection
Importance of a landline phone in the age of wireless
Houston, TX (PRWEB) November 13, 2007 -- Even in the wireless age, home telephone service still has its place in the home, especially in an emergency. ConnectMyPhone.com, an online marketplace that provides phone service options for the home, realizing this need, has put together 10 of the most important reasons to keep a landline.
 | | - Emergency 911 Calls -- 911 dispatchers use a phone number database to pin point a caller's location to send them help and cell phone numbers are not part of that database.
- Children Home Alone -- If a child does not have a cell and is home alone they need a landline to call if there is an emergency.
- Home Alarms -- Home security systems which automatically call the police use landlines.
- Severe Storms -- Just a reminder, a severe storm could knock out cell phone reception. A home phone could be a great back up.
- Internet Connection -- In most cases, dial-up and DSL use home phone lines to connect to the Internet.
- Talking Habits -- Most home phone plans have unlimited local calling which would cost less than paying fees for going over cell minutes.
- Fax Machines -- Fax machines and those all-in-one scanner/printer/fax units also use home phone line
- Cell Reception in the Home -- Cell phone reception doesn't always work in all areas of the home, so a cordless home phone might work best, especially in the case of an emergency.
- Dead or Lost Cell -- An uncharged cell or a lost cell would leave a consumer without a phone, unless they kept their landline.
- Home Television Service -- Satellite receivers and digital video recorders use home phone lines to update programming schedules and permit the consumer to order pay-per-view programs.
