I would never be without a landline. I don't use a cellphone/tracking device. During storms, the electricity goes out and then the cell towers lose power. The regular phone system has battery backup. I have never had my phone service interrupted by a storm, even in the middle of a hurricane. Anyway, my internet comes through the phone lines.
It might be time to consider getting a landline just as a backup.
I imagine many are like our household. We no longer have a landline and dialup is unfortunately out of the question.
