Re: [TekTalk] Is TekTalk reliable and comparable to land lines?
If the power goes out or the internet goes down you'll not only have no phone you'll have no access to 911 either . If you happen to be in a situation where you need 911 services you'll be SOL .... or hope you have an understanding neighbor that has a working phone line
Power outage is a problem for VOIP services. I got a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) at home to keep the modems, routers, and the phone alive in case of a power outage, at least for a while. I don't have any cell phone service, but I got a spare cell phone sitting on my desk which apparently allows emergency calls only. So, I am hoping I am covered for 911 calls. Received my modem and ATA today. All I can do at this point is hope for the best.
