Who says that landlines are a thing of the past? Even though mobile phones are mainstream enough to have every member of your family own one, the benefits of having a landline or a “home phone” are not completely lost.
Most of these landlines operate on VoIP protocol now, over your classic telephone cable system. VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol, and it uses the internet to transmit voice as it is used to transmit data.
Providers nowadays will offer you “triple play” services, that include broadband internet, cable TV, and a landline. Though the landlines that come with your service might be reliable, you can get better quality if you go with a third-party VoIP Landline.
