In this modern era, the uses of landlines or corded phones are getting lesser. According to a survey, a few years ago, above 47% of American families used only cell phones, especially the younger generation. They are ditching land phones, but that does not mean that you also have to follow the trend. Here are some of the reasons on what are the factors that should help you stay with corded phones.
Cost
Using corded or landline phones are still inexpensive. It may not add much to your bills if your phone is doubled with TV and internet. In fact, it may make you spend more if you reject the company of your home phone. It’s a good option during your retirement.
Emergencies
Land phones stay with you even if there is a power cut. It is beneficial if you live in a place prone to bad weather. In case of an emergency, a call from a corded phone can easily be traced, whereas an emergency call center can only track a cellular phone to the nearest cell site.
Quality
According to research, the sound quality of a corded phone is much better and precise than cell phones. If you spend a lot of time on a phone, this may be a related asset. Using a corded phone afflicts less harm in case you are suffering from hearing loss.
Simplification
You may not play online games or check e-mails on your landline, but you will find the simple way of using it enjoyable. It will not make you addicted to it. You will be free from the trappings of modern technology.
Security
Your home security systems use your telephone line and connect to an emergency call center. There are many options for wireless security though, these present similar challenges that cell phones do during storms or in areas with a bad signal.
No contract
There are many corded phone service providers out there who offer landline service without any contract. If you are tired of being trapped in an expensive cellular contract, this ‘no contract’ system may bring you some refreshment.
