Re: No More Generally a landline is more reliable, but in my case it was less reliable. ATT just wouldn't maintain the lines well enough. Every few weeks, there would be no dial tone, and I'd have to call ATT and have them fix it.
Of course they threatened big charges if they decided the problem was in the customer's premises. But I checked that carefully first. So they'd come out and fix it, and then after 10-20 days, the same thing would happen again. And so on, over and over.
I was missing so many calls I had to cancel it. Another factor was repeatedly getting stuck in some place where I needed to make a call and there were no landlines.
BTW, this news is only about consumers. I don't envision businesses replacing all the desktop phones with cells. |
