> Do you also prefer landlines to cell phones? Sometimes, yes. We had a once in a century ice storm a few years ago. We were without power for four days during in the winter. They re-established power gradually and I still remember the crowds at Starbucks. It was all people waiting to use the outlets to recharge their phones. Meanwhile, while the power was out and we had no heat, my wall phone worked fine throughout. You know that they have an independent power supply, and if you don't use a cordless handset, they work fine even with the electricity out. I also have the last version of the phone book that was printed in my city, and I was making calls all week and finding people and resources to help me deal with the emergency.
