I Just Googled “Landline Reasons To Have”
Me and everyone I know has a cell phone. I don't have a landline in my apartment. This afternoon I was pondering the reasons why someone might want a landline in their home.
In the workplace I understand. But, for the home I'm had a hard time coming up with reasons.
So, I turned to Google and entered "landline reasons to have".
The most obvious reason that Google spit back at me was something to the effect of 9-1-1 and kids. Most small children don't have cell phones, so if an emergency were to happen in the home its a good idea to have a landline around for them to dial 9-1-1.
Outside of 9-1-1 and kids can you give me a good reason for having a landline in the home? Do you have a landline under your roof?
See my video question in the comments?
Update: Here are some more reasons why landlines are still useful: Uptime during power outages, don't need daily battery re-charging and they provide your location to emergency services faster on average (This is more an issue with emergency dispatcher technology).
