    Sure, but no switches lost power in this outage. And yes the power in my home could be on, but if the phone company itself has no electricity 🙃 then sure.

    But generally speaking, that doesn’t happen, and it didn’t happen here. Land lines work without power in nearly all circumstances because the power comes through the land line itself.

    But the statement you’re making is a silly one. I could say “your cell phone will never work when all the cell towers are powered down and you don’t have wifi and your phone company has no power either. 😑”

    Still I’ve never had a land line not work when the power in large areas around me goes out.

    “BUT WHAT IF YOU DON’T PAY YOUR BILL AND YOUR PHONE COMPANY IS PART OF A BUSINESS HOSTILE TAKEOVER AND THEY ABANDON YOU As A CUSTOMER”

    uhhh… yeah I guess it won’t work then. Like what are you trying to prove here?
