10-Digit Dialing is Coming
The FCC has adopted 988 as a new three-digit number to be used nationwide to reach the National Suicide Prevention and Mental Health Crisis Lifeline, starting July 16, 2022. In order for 988 to work in our 319 area code, 10-digit local dialing must first be implemented.
Why Keep Your Landline Phone?
911 communication
When you call from a landline, your address automatically displays on the dispatcher’s screen.
Quality and reliability
With cell phones, calls can drop in the middle of a conversation. Landlines have always provided the most consistent service with the highest quality voice reception.
Service during power outages
If electricity is out, a corded landline phone will continue to work 99.9 percent of the time. Fiber customers’ phones that have battery backup will work for eight hours.
