Landline Phone Service questions, answered by experts

As long as your landline is corded, meaning your telephone has a handset wired to a base unit on the wall, it will work during a power outage. Cordless phones won’t work without power, and cell phones will run out of battery eventually, so having a corded landline can be vital if your area loses power frequently or for long periods.

The average cost for a single landline in your home is around $24 per month, but some carriers offer lines for between $12 and $40 per month. If you also want access to cable TV and internet, it’s often more affordable to bundle services with a single carrier. The average cost for all three is around $80 per month, and prices for different bundles range from $50 to $150 or more, depending on what’s included.

For the average home office, you should only need one line. It’s uncommon to need more than one business line for a small or starting business. The exception is for the hard workers who manage multiple businesses out of their home and want a separate line for each to keep everything separate. In that case, it’s relatively easy to add another line with VoIP, but significantly more expensive for an analog/hardwired phone system.

Costs depend on property size, network complexity, and labor rates.

While homeowners can make basic repairs with the right tools and knowledge, professional assistance is advisable for complex installations to ensure proper functionality.
