Landline Advantages You May Not Think About

Having a corded landline phone at home provides you with many benefi ts including consistently clearer voice quality than a cell phone. But did you ever stop to consider all of the li le annoying things you don’t have to do with your landline phone? Here are our favorites:

1. You don’t have to think about signal strength.2. You don’t have to remember to charge the

ba ery.3. You don’t have to run around the house looking

for it when it rings.4. You don’t have to be careful not to drop it and

break the screen.5. You don’t (767-5066) have to worry about losing your phone.6. You don’t have to take me to do so ware upgrades.7. You don’t have to worry about the babysi er not knowing your physical

address in case of an emergency.Some mes, keeping things simple is simply be er. For details on our super-

aff ordable landline service, call 800.362.2576.
