Phone line with Fibre To The Premises.

Sparkingchip

Fibre is being installed to my home in a few weeks time.

Looking at the options to keep landline phones and the number the only realistic option seems to be to get VoIP from Vonage with a telephone adapter box.

There is an option of a “pensioners” landline deal for phone only on the copper, but it’s relatively expensive and may only be available for a couple of years.

So the first question is should I keep the “landline phone” and number, and. Is there anything other option I have missed?

    Although I don't use a landline anymore because a mobile is all I need, I do get to use the existing household connection via my Now TV subscription and have a number should I wish to use it.

    Recently Mike mentioned that the mobile infrastructure is vulnerable to power outages. Maybe this winter could show some holes in the system that a land-line would protect you from.
