Land line telephones serve many purposes in the state of Massachusetts, even though they seem to be decreasing in popularity after the introduction of the cell phone. Land line phones allow businesses to coordinate multiple phone lines with voicemail and forwarding systems, enhancing communication within a large firm. Many people also opt for a land line in addition to cell phones; this can bring a household together with a shared phone line and allow businesses to contact them without the hassle of a cell phone ringing in the middle of a work day.
Many Massachusetts residents use phone service providers like Verizon or Comcast. For those who interact on an international level, they can find a phone plan that suits their worldwide connections. And different plans incorporate different features, like Caller ID, call waiting, and voicemail. With many phone service options, land lines continue to be a major source of audio communication for Massachusetts residents.

No, they are not. If your power or cable goes out, likely the phone goes out too. Traditional phones also carry thier own power and are generally very dependable.

This is a great question and with each person the answer will change. My personal opinion is home phones are a waste of time since the only time you can answer it is when you are home. Cell phones you can use anywhere and if you have a good data plan you will not worry about minutes. The only plus I could see from a landline is using it as a number to give to people that you do not want to give your cell number out to. If this is not an issue to you then there really is no point in spending an extra $25 a month.

You will need a landline phone to work as a customer service representative at home. Most companies will require you to have this in order to apply with their company but some of them will reimburse you for the charges. You can find good deals with AT&T.
