POTS still works when the power is cut.
This is certainly not true. When the RT loses power, so does the POTS. My cell-phone is far more reliable in power outages with its ability to pick up multiple towers.
What will you do if your cell-phone battery was already low on power and there was an outage that lasted for hours?

I can confirmed during the major blackout that lasted hours, even a day, the POTS stayed strong. People were relying on them to contact others. So for me, POTS (with a regular phone) has the best reliability.

Charge it from your car? I know, it all seems too simple.

And who are you calling all this time while the power is out? Let people know you are safe. I'm sure there are more important things to do than jabber on the phone during a disaster.

I would use it for emergencies - police, fire, police when the power is out.
