If the power goes out, would the phones go out too?

Question

Like, house phones. I think they're called land lines... I'm assuming that cell phones would still work.

I was just wondering.. Thanks!

Answer 1

Fortunately, if your power is out, your landline wired phone will still work. Cordless ones I have not had so much luck with.

Answer 2

Yes, any phone with a phone cord that runs on electricity will go out.  However, that means cell phones will still work.

Answer 3

Cordless phones go out. Phones with cords don't.

Answer 4

if your phone uses batteries no, it would still work

Answer 5

2 tomato cans and string never go out, LOL just kidding. A lot of Cordless phones havea  battery backup in the base unit that comes in handy.

Answer 6

If you have a "landline" phone, it will not go out if the power goes out, as long as it is not a wireless phone, with the base plugged in to the power.  If it is a standard phone, it may not go out when the power goes out.

Answer 7

Your cell phone and landline number would still be working unless it is a cordless. In case of emergency always have access to a phone that plugs in the wall. ALWAYS BE PREPARED!!
