Honestly, landline if it's doable.

Honestly, it seems hard to get a real landline these days. It's all VOIP stuff that goes out with the power.

I know, and a lot of times when power goes out for extended periods, the cell phone won't charge. It stinks bc you need a mobile for emergencies out and about and work, and a landline for grid and cellular failure, but who needs an extra bill?
