In terms of powercuts... you can still make calls via a mobile phone in a power cut. If it's wider scale you sometimes lose 3/4/5g but usually not calls and texts. As for the "not everyone has a mobile" argument ... ...  for those who are massively concerned about their granny in a powercut, you can get a basic mobile for £10. |
I haven't used a landline for 9 years. I remember the day I stopped using the phone in our hallway. It stopped working so I was just about to buy a new landline phone, when I thought, what a waste of money.
I'll only use the mobile. And of course making calls from mobiles is so much cheaper now. My mobile phone bill per month is just £6.00 per month, unlimited calls and texts.
