If you have a house, you will always need one land line, preferably copper. I decided this after Katrina. The only person (out of dozens) I could reach in New Orleans lives in a beautiful old Victorian house and uses a mechanical telephone.

We get power failures during ice storms -- our land line never goes out. If you use an old style phone, you don't need electricity, the land line has enough power to make it work. It's a safety feature, you can call the police or an ambulance or the fire department no matter what.

That said, I am switching to Vonage for my office.
