Landline - do you have one

[phreezee]

My VOIP adapter has moved with us twice now and I've had the same number for over a decade. Only costs $5/month for unlimited North American long distance to most major cities, so it is worth keeping it for us.

I still have one as I like having a number that I never have to answer and hate checking voice mail on my cellphone.

A TELUS landline will also still work during a commercial power outage without any need for an UPS at your home.

So does Telus Optic customers still have old school 48v phone lines? Or VOIP over the fiber?

The res models I've seen have a UPS.

Telus is not required to install a UPS anymore. This is due to the fact that most people who have a landline have a powered base that wont allow the phone to work during a power outage anymore.

ALSO Telus now provides a free Landline if you are 60+ with Internet or something

Depends if you are aerial or not . If you had copper to your home prior to getting Fibre, you probably are still connected to Line Equipment at the Office, or UMC. IF you want to get specific, Line equipment at the office apparently sounds "better / Warmer sounding" than voip
