Three Benefits of a Landline 

1. 911 communication – When you call from a landline, your address automatically displays on the dispatcher’s screen
2. Quality and reliability – Landlines offer the highest quality phone experience; no dropped calls or buzzing during conversations.
3. Service during power outages – If electricity is out, a corded landline phone will continue to work 99.9 percent of the time (as required by the FCC). Note, fiber customers’ phones will work for eight hours due to the life of the battery backup for the service.
