Yes, I signed up my MIL for a real landline when she moved out here about 3 years ago. But it's $60/month for a landline; I'm only doing it because we do get frequent utility power outages and I hope the central office stays up longer than cell towers. I haven't followed up to find out when we had a long outage, but cell towers only stay up for 4-6 hours, and when we have an outage of more than a minute, it tends to be at least 24-48 hours.
