We travel with our landlines. Att we have big storms up north and wind shear. Cell don't work. We have gone 10 days with no cell service. Not good with ailing health

Call 911 with your Ooma service and tell them you are calling to verify what address they see. I have been down this road - you want to do this.

Just remember that if you do decide to have a CenturyLink copper-wire landline, for whatever reasons, have at least one corded phone in the house. The cordless phones will not work during a power failure.

The only phone that will work in a major storm is a landline phone. Also when you call 911 and you cannot tell the operator where you are it takes longer for them to locate you. It can only locate the nearest cell tower.

Yikes. Thanks for that reminder. Had one down south, must have lost it in the last move.

It is a good idea to keep a landline. I'm sorry I gave up mine. If you lose electricity, you eventually drown out all the battery operated cell phones. With the old fashioned landline, your battery never dies and you never lose contact with anyone because it is hard-wired.
