We are considering discontinuing our landline. Does anyone know if a landline still works during power outages? Last power outage our landline was not functioning.
I discontinued my landline service in 2013.
I use a VoIP (voice over internet phone) Ooma is the brand, works great. If I recall correctly you can keep your old landline phone number and you can register the number for reverse 911 notifications. See details about keeping your old number in the link below.
I like the voicemail forwarding via email.
The only issue is if the internet is down, you have no phone service.

Forgot to mention, my internet service is JTI aka Jon-Ash-net :O) Works great.
If you have Century Link, you may have to jump through some hoops to get internet only service.
I posted a screen shot of my Ooma savings on phone service above.
