With the relative ease and convenience of securing a cellular phone, many people are giving up their landlines (home phones) all together. This may or may not be a good idea depending on whether or not you have a need for a home phone. There are certain instances that may require maintaining your land line.
Home BusinessIf you have a home business or are employed with a work at home company, you may be required to maintain a home phone. Often, voice over internet phones (VOIP) are not permitted due to their potential lack of security. The reason for the requirement of a home phone for these types of businesses is two-fold, security and no chance of dropped calls on your end. Often, work at home companies will often go a step further and require that the telephone used be a corded one, again, for security purposes.
Children in the HomeMany families find it easier if they have children in the home to have a home phone. Even very young children can be taught to dial 911 in an emergency and having a phone in a set location can make this easier for children. If you aren't permitting your children their own cell phone, having a land line will also provide them a phone number to give to their friends.
Lack of Cellular ServiceThough it may surprise some, not every area of the country has cellular capabilities. There are many households that sit in dead zones. This means that even if your cell phone works fine outside of the home, when traveling or even at work, it won't work inside of your house. In these cases, having a home phone is absolutely essential.
It's incredibly popular today to rid the home of a land line, especially when trying to save money. A better option, for some, may be to maintain a home phone minus any features. A home phone without caller ID, call forwarding, call waiting and/or long distance can often be maintained at a very basic rate. Before you give up your home phone, decide if there are any risks for you doing so.
