 | No Land line here We lost our land line twice earlier this year when minor storms went through (still had power). We never lost our cell coverage, so we dropped our land line in July. Last weekend, we had no power for 5 hours, and many people still have no power after the remains of Ike went through. We have yet to loose our cell phone coverage. Called in our power outage, and surfed the web on my iPhone On top of that, I read a week or 2 ago that telephone companies no longer have to report up times for POTS (land line) to the FCC, so look for those numbers to plummet. |
