Re: 82.9%

If cell tower loses power: cell phones no workie. If home loses power, land line phones still work albeit it's not a fancy phone with that requires additional power. Phone company has local back up power to basic phone systems.

Must have really poor cell towers in your area. When the power goes out around here (which is rare due to majority of electrical is underground), the cell towers still work.
