When was the last time you really thought about the importance of your landline telephone? It’s something we depend on every day. It’s easy to use, always works, and provides a crystal clear method of communication. Not many other communication services can say that. Wireless companies, however, would like to make you think otherwise. Wireless phones certainly have their place in today’s society, but they are definitely not a replacement for traditional landline service. Here’s why:
Safety: Imagine that your child just got home from school and needs to call you at work. Unless your child has a cell phone, without a landline phone at your residence, they will not be able to call you, nor will you be able to call them.
911 Services: When you dial 911 from your landline telephone, the emergency
center knows exactly where you are located and where to send help. That is not always the case with a wireless phone.
Directory Assistance: Wireless phones are not included in Directory Assistance or in the telephone directory.
Reliability: Wireless phones rely on battery power to function. Power outages or dead batteries means no phone service. Also if the phone gets damaged, it can take days or weeks to get a replacement, and can be very costly.
Security: Have you ever misplaced your cell phone or had it stolen? If this happens and someone finds it, they could use it and run up your cell phone bill unbeknownst to you.
Reception: There are many areas where wireless phones simply do not work.
Friendly, Local Customer Service with Local Billing: Have you ever waited on hold for long periods of time for a wireless customer service representative just to have them treat you rudely or simply not have the answers to your questions? WTC Communications’ customer service lines are always answered by friendly, local
service representatives, whom you know and trust.
Landline service is still the clear choice for reliability, security, clarity, and convenience. |
