People are giving up their landline phone service in droves, migrating instead to the option of only carrying a cellular phone. This makes sense. Why pay for two phones, when you're always going to have your cell? Well, for one, landline proponents argue that you'll never have to worry about missing an important call because your phone's battery is dead. Also, it's not likely that you'll drop a call on a landline phone.
It's because of these reasons that there are still landline providers hanging around the great state of South Carolina. Residents of the state have plenty of options for landline service, including some local companies, depending on where they're at in the state.
Of course, the big name national chains, like AT&T, are available and a great option for inexpensive phone service. However, many people want to patronize local businesses in this time of recession. No matter where you are, there is likely going to be a local provider, from West Carolina Rural in Abbeville to Palmetto Rural in Walterboro, there is a local phone service company in your area.
Prices are going to vary depending on the service you select and the provider, but no matter which one you choose, you'll know that you're landline phone's batteries will never run out.

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.
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.
