 | 2 Years Without We got rid of the landlines 2 years ago. T-Mobile UMA cell phones made this possible, because no carrier works well in our home and none work in our basement. UMA cell phones are AWESOME! If you have a good broadband wireless connection, the call quality on UMA is as good as a landline.
In the worst case if the power goes out, I walk outside to make a call on the T-Mobile cellular network or roam on the AT&T cellular network. I am planning on a small battery backup system for the wireless router and cable modem in the future.
Over half of call to 911 these days are from cell phones. This will only increase in the future. |
