Why keep a landline home phone service?

While many use a cellphone as their sole means of communication, landline phone service offers benefits like low cost and reliability that make having home phone service an appealing option for many.

Top 4 reasons to keep your landline phone

Whether you choose a digital phone line or a basic landline, some of the best reasons to keep your home phone service include:

• Better voice quality and reception – Compared to their mobile counterparts, you can usually get a better signal reception with landline phone service since it’s a hardwired connection.
• Faster and more accurate responses for 911 emergencies – Landline phone service is already connected to your address, including your specific apartment number. This means the 911 operator already knows exactly where to send help – even if you’re unable to speak.

Did you know? Prior to the 911 emergency system, you’d have to call the operator to summon the correct emergency service. In some states, you’d dial “3-4-7-3,” which spells “FIRE,” to reach your local fire department. In other areas of the U.S., the fire department and police stations had their own 6- or 7-digit numbers just like everyone else.

• Bundle deals and savings – Providers offer discounts on double or triple service bundles that can be more cost-effective than standalone plans. Plus, it’s cheaper to share one home phone line than having multiple cell lines for each member of your household.
• A smarter, connected home – Most modern home phones now have advanced features that integrate seamlessly with other devices in your home.
