Message: [QUOTE="Okafour rings, post: 2990935, member: 7715"] We have been slow to change, but up until 2 years ago, we had an AT&T landline, and a few years back when we lost power for a week at a time during Sandy and the various snowstorms, and everyone was scrambling with their cell phones to recharge their batteries, we never lost our phone connection. When we finally relented and went with Comcast's Xfinity bundle, we lost that advantage. But the call quality is still superior: no one tells us that the call is 'breaking up.' When our girls who are both out of state call us (on an almost daily basis), they always call the landline because they know we don't carry our cell phones with us around the house. My wife leaves hers on the kitchen counter and I leave mine on my desk in my home office. It's also nice to have caller ID show up on the screen if we're watching TV - not sure that happens with a cell phone. Lastly, I don't have to worry about the landline phones running out of power. I don't want to stress about the cell battery dying in the afternoon because I've used it for calls, texts, web usage etc. My charge lasts 2-3 days. I'm on my PC for work 8-10 hours a day so i don't really need my cell except for the times I'm on the road. [/QUOTE]
