Why You Need Your Landline Phone

“A balanced choice is often the best one – a combination of landline and wireless phone use may be the right choice for you.” ~ Federal Communications Commission

You may have considered eliminating your home telephone and replacing it with a cell phone or Internet-based system such as a cable digital phone or VoIP.

Think twice before you make that move since a landline phone is the most reliable device on the market today and offers these valuable advantages:

• Provides security in an emergency with reliable 911 communications.
• Gives you superior sound quality and clarity.
• Works even during an electrical outage.
• Eliminates need to charge batteries.
• Provides unlimited local calling.
• Never drops your calls.
• Can’t be hacked.
• Saves you money when you bundle services.
• Provides you with a directory listing

Make A Corded Phone Part of Your Storm Plan

When bad weather hits, will your family be prepared? Severe storms and heavy winds can easily disrupt electrical service. Or a power outage could occur for other reasons. One item to be sure and have on hand is a corded landline phone, since it does not require electricity and could be your backup method of communication during and after a storm.

It’s important for you to know:

• Cordless phones require electricity and will not continue to work during a power outage.
• Cellular systems and towers are not required to provide backup power, so cell phones may not operate during a power outage either.

For safety’s sake, Alpine Communications urges you to always have at least one corded phone in your home.  We have a variety of corded and cordless telephones for sale at our office in Elkader.  For more information about the importance of having a corded phone, call us at 563-245-4000.
