Land line telephones. Wired or wireless?

isnt it crazy that they have had cordless phones since like the 80s and yet they havent fixed that problem yet? to me with the battery charged in it it should work but of course it doesnt.. all i have are cordless but i do have cell phones so i wouldnt be totally screwed.. but its annoying!!

I have two mobiles one is my regular number i am using it to contact my friends and others.Another is a extra card given for my dads number.

I have a landline,a wireless set and a coupe of cell phones.I alternate among these according to the situation.

Not only do we have wireless, but we have cable phone, so if the power goes out, the phone goes out. I do have a cell, I need it so I can be reached in case there's a problem with my mom.

Me & my girl friend both have cell phones... We do have 1 phone hanging in the kitchen wall & there's an answering machine sitting next to desktop computer... We both have unlimited plan so we don't really need home phone but we keep it for our daughter sake... And internet at home is through Verizon DSL so we need to keep a phone line... I'm thinking about changing to cable & do away with home phone all together...

We've been using wired telephone for years.. it's more reliable than using wireless ones.. wireless phone needs to be charged or else you can't use it to make phone calls most especially when the power is down.. yay! it's totally useless..

We have 1 telephone that is not electric, just for that reason.

I have both and my cell is maily for the road and my land is the main line that we use.I want to have them both all for different reasons but maily for safety sake. The cell phones are just great in case of emergencys and trouble on the road or yes, whenn the power goes off.

I have a cordless phone, we have power outs quite regularly, so i made sure i got one with a battery backup, so i know i will always have a phone.

I have a landline line wired phone.I don't have a landline wireless phone.I use the phone only when my mobile bill is high.Here a flood happened in our place and there was no phone connection.When the flood waters went down it was restored within a day.

My husband and I both have cell phones, but they aren't any good where we live until we get on the road. So we have land lines. We have both wireless and plug in phones. Our electricity hardly ever goes out, but when it does, we have a phone to fall back on. I like the wireless because we can take it out in the yard with us when we are working out there. It would be nice if the company we have our cell phones with would put up towers closer to us.

We have both wired and wireless phones at home. Wireless for the sake of taking calls anywhere in the house and wired so whenever there's no electricity, we can still be reached.

We've got one hard-wired phone and an extension that's wireless. I totally agree with you about wireless phones that run on electricity -- we were at a relative's place when a storm hit them. The power went out for hours and since they've only got a wireless phone (obviously, no Internet too cuz the modem's on electricity) we felt totally cut off. We panicked a bit too because none of us had fully charged our cellphone batteries that time. Anyway, it's safe to say that they went out the next day to get a hard-wired phone unit... but since it was hurricane season that time, Target and Walmart both ran out of these units!!! Thankfully, the power didn't go out again and they were able to get an extra hard-wired unit/fax machine from a friend later that week. They still have that bulky thing in the kitchen too... better safe than sorry, for sure. :)

I have wireless because it is so simple and you can put it in a holster

We only have wired land line telephone at home. Actually we rarely use the land line phone, as both my husband and I are using our cellphones. We applied for the land line is only for the Internet connection. Since wired phone is much cheaper, so we just get the wired one.

My husband and I both have cell phones. We also have the wireless landline phones. We have one wired phone that we keep in the chest at the end of our bed but we don't keep it out unless we need it.

You make a good point. My bf and I have cell phones and wire phone @home. It is a very good idea to have a plug in phone for when the power goes out. It is best to be prepared.

80% of our phoning is by cell phone. I've even stopped long distance service on our land line. I keep it around in case one of my church members needs to reach me.

I would not pay for a landline if not for my mother. She visits about half the year here because of hurricanes where she lives and she has a medical alert thing that needs a landline to plug into. It's worth paying for it to have peace of mind. Otherwise, I'd use my cell phone which is so cheap. I only pay $15 for it and never use up the minutes, I have about 1600 minutes accrued!

we are having 2 cellphones (1 for myself and 1 for my wife) and 2 wirephones (1 i had taken from BSNL for connecting internet. But when they couldn't give internet connection for long time, i took Reliance wired phone and now we are having 4 connections (2 wired and 2 wireless).
