Phone service in Mississippi can get surpassed by cellular phones, but it still serves a practical function in many households and businesses. Unlike cellular phones, land line telephones connect directly, never needing a signal or to be within range of a network. Many businesses rely on land lines to create better connections between them and their customers by incorporating call forwarding and voicemail systems. Families may find the land line phone useful because it connects everyone under the same line, and businesses and vendors who call through the day will not interrupt anyone on their personal cell phone. In addition, phone services can be cheaper than monthly cellular plans, and customers can still choose from many options like call waiting, Caller ID, call forwarding, and unlimited long distance domestic calls.
Many phone service providers are cable companies like BellSouth, CenturyTel, and AT&T, who can bundle multiple services for those shopping for more than just a new phone line.

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.

Is it better to have traditional phone service or a cell phone for your only phone? Post by anonymous in , Post Your Reply

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.
Can you do work-at-home customer service jobs with your cell phone or must you have home phone service? Post by in , Post Your Reply

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.
