QUOTE(Sakiri @ Nov 17 2019, 06:43 AM) If you went anywhere in the US worth a dang and tried to use that old of a Nokia, it probably wouldn't work. The network tech's evolved a bit since then.
True. For better or worse. Folks barely have landlines any more. Why pay for two phones when one will do anything you want it to?

Because landlines function even with the electricity grid down; it draws what little power it needs directly from the copper line. No need for a charger, no need for batteries, no radiation (I've experienced physical effects firsthand), no risk of misplacing it and risk having to look for it in an emergency where your brain can't think properly. I can go on if Khajiit wishes Not knocking down cellphones, they're a great tool. But I also don't see why we have to get rid of what we know works just because we have a new fancy toy. And it doesn't need to be expensive either. That's all company greed and affects more than just phones anyway. Better stop now before I get political

That said, if things get bad enough to where I can’t find any power to charge my phone, odds are I won’t be at home to to be able to use the landline anyway.

QUOTE(mirocu @ Nov 17 2019, 07:55 AM) Things don't have to go terribly bad, a simple outage is enough and we just know that's when your phone needs recharging. Murphy himself says so... I take comfort knowing that my landline will still up and running in an outage. Also I like not having radiation beaming through my birdbrain if I make a half-hour call But one thing shouldn't exclude the other. Landlines shouldn't be viewed as obsolete just because we have cellphones, and cellphones shouldn't be discarded just because we have landlines. There's room for both in my world. You make good points Señor Nevermore.
