Landline Phone Service questions, answered by experts

The phone jack is the square wall-mounted plate into which a telephone plug is placed for the phone to get service. You’ll know your phone is properly connected to a working phone jack if you hear a dial tone when you pick up the phone. Phone jacks are often silver, white, or beige and are usually located in the living room, kitchen, bedrooms, or dens. 

Phone wiring in modern homes is commonly used for landline telephones, internet connections, and network setups.

The length of coax cable can affect the signal. Coax cables and their connectors all have a small amount of electrical resistance, which means that the longer the cable and more connectors in the system, the weaker the signal strength. In most homes, the signal loss is tiny, but systems with coax cable lengths over 100 feet will likely experience signal troubles.

Having a landline is often worth paying for, if only for the peace of mind it provides. While some homeowners opt for cell service and internet only for communication, cell towers and internet lines can get knocked out of service during storms or natural disasters. Landlines can continue to work even if the power goes out, and telephone lines are more likely to continue to work in emergency situations. Paying monthly for a landline might seem like an unnecessary expense until you need it, at which point it could be invaluable.

Many VoIP solutions advertise themselves for a team or office, which can cost thousands of dollars. But if you look for small business VoIP solutions, you can find many that offer a single line fit for a home office or sole proprietorship. That can include companies like RingCentral, OpenPhone, and even Zoom—along with traditional phone service providers you may already be using.
