I have Charter and it included a battery that
will keep the phone on for a few hours after the power goes out. But otherwise
you have to have a cell phone.
My charter service though is full cable with two
movie channel pkgs, High speed internet and phone with long distance in the
continental US and Canada for $109 a month.
Sandy in Wisconsin where this is the third nice
day in a row and no one says it out loud....uh oh, jinx!

w/extra calling features
I've looked into the different phone service plans
to try to save money. The problem I have with any VOIP service is that 911
doesn't work the same. They all mention this in the fine print. Also since the
phone service is over your high speed internet access (DSL or Cable) it goes
through your dsl or cable "modem", so during a power outage you have no phone
access either.

Phone service is offered in most
locations throughout the U.S. and in many other countries. There are
different plans available, local, long distance, unlimited with local and
long distance, and they have the VOIP (which you need high speed in order to
have). With the VOIP you can get a video phone too! I personally
took the unlimited that includes local and long distance and get 10 custom
calling features, like call waiting, caller ID, call waiting caller ID, 3
way calling, call forwarding, etc. It also includes in-house wiring,
free. There is no charge for changing companies, keep same phone #,
they use same phone lines, and if your company charges you to switch,
they'll refund the charge to you. No commitment, if not happy, you can
switch at any time.
