Despite the expense, I will keep my landline as long as possible. I worked in public safety communications, and we had equipment at sites with cell equipment. Our equipment would have batteries, generator, and alarms to let us know of generator failure, meaning on battery, so we could bring a mobile generator. The cell equipment had batteries that would last about a day, and didn't want the expense of the generator. I have seen this at many sites. Telephony and I.T. people don't know what reliability means. I live in the west, with earthquakes, and too many people and government agencies rely upon cellular phones. There will be real problems when the system fails, and it is not if, but when. The landline system is very reliable, with batteries that last days and good generators. Even if the trunk lines are damaged, local calls will still go through. I will keep my old rotary dial phone, with a bell type ringer, with my phone number shown as BAldwin 4-3892. The idea that landlines might go away is very disturbing, but no one will realize it until it is too late. Sorry if this is a rant, but emergency communications, which a landline is, are very important to me.
