Still have your regular phone...or strictly use your cell?

Question

Dont you think the connection is better on a regular phone?

Answer 1

My regular telephone is essential. I'm handicapped and not about to fool around wasting time dialing 911 on VOIP (which I have also) or a cellphone. I have a cordless phone too, just for convenience. But if there's a power outage in our area, it's useless. The best, surest connection is still a land line telephone. My cellphone is just to have on me when I'm traveling or for a brief chat.

Answer 2

When my home phone line was damaged due to weather, I was out of phone service for about 3 weeks. I used my cell phone the entire time. Even though I have 4 bars in my house, my calls would drop.

My job pays for my cell, so I don't have that expense. If it were more reliable, I would get rid of the home phone altogether.

Answer 3

It's better for international and business calls. I've got two mobiles, and a phone at my desk and still kept my home phone. Have gone for a dirt cheap tariff and hardly use it though.

Also - Skype (if you were thinking about that as an alternative) phones are not reliable enough for emergency calls.

Answer 4

I think a regular landline sucks. I use VOIP because it it much cheaper than a regular phone. I also use a cellphone only when out.

Answer 5

Depends, sometimes it is connection-wise. It may be cheaper to use the regular phone too.

Answer 6

regular phone

Answer 8

Answer 9
