Your landline will work in a power cut as the whole phone network is run off battery backed up supplies.
If you have a mains powered phone like a cordless you really should have a corded phone as well as backup. Cordless phones always come with a warning that they are not for emergency calls as they don't work in a power cut. I would not rely on your mobile in a power cut in case the local mobile phone masts go down as well. Many are battery backed up but they wont last several hours. |
All my phones are cordless Neil and I realise they don't work in a power cut, I found out the hard way last November, when the power was of for ages one Saturday, once bitten twice shy I now have a corded phone ready to plug in for emergencies.
Just to add to my original post United Utilities even rang me again last night about 7-30pm just to check everything was okay
