Studies show landlines are the preferred choice over cellular phones in terms of voice quality, reliability and consistency of service.

Need 911? Help Finds You Faster with a Landline

A call to 9-1-1 that's placed from a non-cordless, landline phone provides potentially lifesaving benefits by providing reliability and accurate emergency response information for at-home emergency calls. With a landline phone, an emergency dispatch center in an enhanced 9-1-1 service area will automatically receive your location - saving time and sometimes lives. And having a non-cordless phone is essential to keep you connected during power outages.

Landlines are Secure

Never use your wireless phone to give out credit card or other critical data. (No kidding, this is serious business!) Did you  know that some cellular phones use radio frequencies, which can be easily intercepted? Eavesdroppers use simple devices, (e.g., scanners or other cell phones) to intercept the analog radio waves that carry wireless calls. Then, they listen to your private conversations, write down your credit card  information, and find out when you'll be away to plan their evil deeds.

Your Number is in the Book

Without a landline, your telephone number will not appear in area telephone books, many online directories, and  iformation. Cellular companies do not publish telephone numbers in  directories. Your friends, family, business associates, and the community would not know how to reach you without your number listed where most people go to first to call people, the phone book.
