Re: Sexy POTS This is an extremely risky proposition. Every time a disaster strikes (and this seems to be happening more often these days) the first service to go out is cellular. Don't expect to be able to use the cell phone when you really need it. VoIP/IM and especially POTS have proven much more reliable when a city is under 8 feet of water and mud, or when 110-story buildings are collapsing on 5 city blocks. We always pay dearly when we are cheap and ignorant.
Have you checked to see what Bluetooth radiation does to your brain and how it compares to "cellular" signals? |

| wonder why they dont link cell with pots with the same number so cell and pots be include with the price of pots
if one goes out you still have the other |

Actually, the 110 story buildings wiped out the POTS infrastructure for a pretty decent radius, seeing as the COs were below them. |

That was one of those rare moments when Verizon and AT&T collaborated and did almost the impossible, even though AT&T only lost one 5ESS in the World Financial Center due to overheating. The batteries and generators kicked in and did power the switch, however they did not power the AC and no one could get to it for a while. |
