QuoteReally the only true reason I keep some kind of land/voip line is for e911. A cell phone cannot give emergency response your exact address automatically. Also, I want a non-mobile phone so anyone can just grab the house phone and dial 911 without knowing the physical address or in case the caller is unable to speak.
I pay a few extra bucks to get 500 minutes so I have the convenience of another phone around the house.
But really it's there for peace of mind in the event of a true emergency.
e911 is something I am considering. As long as the power is on and internet up...
