We cover the topics of why you should keep your landline! The safety that comes with it and it's helpfulness for daily things. Contact LCR Telecom for all of your long distance needs.
2. Corded landlines work during power failures. After
your cell phone dies what is your backup plan?
With a land line you don't need to worry about the
cell battery dying or about going over any allotted
minutes.
A cell phone would be useful during an emergency or
natural disaster, that is assuming that cellular
networks don't fail and that you can recharge your
cell battery.
Do you rely on your cell phone
because it seems safe?
3. Did you ditch your landline to save money?
Some people ditch their landlines to save money.
According to Bankrate.com, some consumers can save
between $180 and $240 per year by going cell-only.
But it isn't always cheaper, so do the math before you cut
the cord. Some people who give up landlines actually wind
up returning to a combination of wired and wireless. One
couple interviewed by MSN Money pays $46 each month –
about half the cost of the previous cell bill – for a stripped
down landline and a prepaid cell.
So don’t say “I’m trying to save money on a landline.”
Instead specify that you’re looking for the most no-frills
phone service you can get – no bells, no whistles.

4. Does your cell phone ever buzz and you can’t seem to
find it? Do you miss an important call because of this?
Sometimes you may temporarily lose track of an
extension but (a) there are two others as well as the
corded one and (b) it can't get far on foot --
eventually, it will be found.
The consequence of this in an emergency can be
deadly. How much time would you waste looking for
the phone?

5. Do you want your kids always on your cell phone
making their personal calls?
Have the landline as a back up option. They can use
the landline when you are on an important call.
Don’t worry about your minutes and data usage by
everyone else in the family. A landline saves that
hassle.
Imagine you are the one with the emergency, can
your child find your cell phone, unlock it and call for
help?
Who else uses your phone?
6. All incoming calls are free.
The landline number is the perfect number to give out
to banks, credit cards, stores and other contacts so
they won’t be interrupting you while driving. This
way you can get back to them when you have time.
