Cell phone vs. Landline.
Landline for sound and earthquake preparedness alert....of which I have 5 phones @ the house, and one cell.
Cell =Verizon @ home doesn't work unless racing to the wrought iron gate, holding on with one hand, on one leg wearing a tinfoil hat . Celll held high, speaker on, bi-directional rotation waving it in the air to the Cell Phone Tower Goddess hollering " Helllo can you hear me now ~can you hear me now can yo....GONE .
but, a celll in my pocket works well with GPS speaker in car.
The planned city I live in bans celltowers, because *** they are ugly. we vote here, , "they are still ugly". ,. So, we have a monopoly with COX Communications bundling it all up. and it breaks. Verizon, MT Mobile and Sprint offered to put in pine tree looking towers....but , alas, we have palm trees *
Cox SUCKS. But I keep the landline because, A. it's a "bundle" .I wish someone could tell me what I am saving. I have the digital tv , digital phone, and high speed computer..B. In case of earthquake, I might not be able to find my tinfoil hat, and I have 4 landlines....but then again, Cox goes down once a month without earthquakes.
