Home Phone - The Fixed Lines or the Life Lines by:Dennis Jaylon

Wireless phones have outstripped landlines in popularity in many nations

, but there are some unique uses for a home phone which will probably keep the technology from vanishing altogether. The signal on a home phone also tends to be more clear than a wireless phone. In areas where wireless service is poor or nonexistent, many people prefer to use home phone phones. In some countries, a home phone is still considered the main phone line for a house or business, and people may exchange multiple phone numbers with each other to facilitate communication. People who experience patchy mobile service may tell people to call back "on a land line" to continue a conversation.

One of the most obvious benefits to a Home phone is an almost guaranteed service fidelity. While cell phone service has improved drastically in recent years, reception nonetheless remains spotty in some areas, including some people's homes. Moreover, cell phone coverage is sometimes intermittent, so that a house that one day has perfect cell phone reception may the next not get service at all. On a day-to-day level this may occur infrequently enough that it isn't a huge deal, but when an important business call needs to be made, or a call drops out in the middle of a heart-to-heart with a long-lost friend, you might find yourself wishing for the stability of a home phone.

Battery life is another factor in considering retaining a home phone, even after getting a cell phone. While battery life is getting better on cell phones, it is still quite finite on most when actively talking. For normal conversations, this can be fine, but for wanting to sit around talking to a best friend all night and into the early morning, having the phone drop out from a dead battery can be unacceptable. While many people use cordless phones with their home phone, they tend to have better battery life anyway, and a home phone always offers the option of using a corded phone.
