Trading in your landline for a cell phone
I was reading an article on the New York Times Website that was talking about the probability of many consumers disconnecting their landline phones in favor of using only their cell phones. I understand that IS probably going to happen, but I don’t plan on doing it myself. Here’s why:
If we lose electricity in our house for more than a few hours, our cell phones will be useless because their charges don’t last very long. Landline phones are usually good for the duration of an electrical outage.
Our house is a complete dead zone for cell phones, so we can’t use cell phones in our house. That is also the case for our cell phones from our house to town, and back again. In fact, our cell phones are pretty useless to us. We are thinking about having them disconnected altogether this coming week, as our two week contract has just expired.
So, for this telephone consumer, we will stick with the landlines for a while to come yet!
