AT&T Drops Contract Requirement for Home Phone Service
Wireless Home Phone
I do not understands why At&t Drops Home Phone Service. Wireless is not as reliable as the Landline. And God forbid if there were to be a national disaster, specially in CA, Where r we going o turn too. Not the wireless I can assure, it'll be the Old Fashion Landline. I think it's a big mistake and should re-consider this process. 😲

It is chiefly for portability. When you move to a different town (let alone a different state), you cannot take your home phone number with you. You are required to get a new home phone number. Some people are *loathe* to change their home phone number.
This service lets people keep the same home number with them no matter where they happen to move.

Umm,... do "home phones" still exist???
2000-2001 was the last time I had a landline.
Multiple bills don't make sense to me.
My wireless bill is my home & mobile phone bill, home & mobile internet, ...all in one bill.

The land line is the early 21th century's version of the fax machine, and soon it will only be found in the homes of the elderly and businesses. I honestly do not see the value in having yet another mobile communication device that is designed to be immobile.

Wireless isn't reliable? Really? This is 2013, cell towers are everywhere, their on billboards, tops of buildings, alongside highways, ...things aren't like how they use to be 15-20 years ago.
Cell service is just fine.
I've been with two wireless carriers, Cingular/ATT January 2002-March 2010
Verizon March 2010-Present
No major call problems with either.

Tell that to people who went through Superstorm Sandy. It took about 2 weeks to get reliable cell service, because there was no power to the towers. In a real emergency like a natural disaster, the most reliable phone is the old fashioned princess or wall phone where all you need is a phone jack.
Not a cordless phone. No answering machine. When the power goes out, a 30 year old phone is the most reliable one there is.

Um, the world is a bigger place than California. I went through several hurricanes where the landline service was lost but I always had cellphone access. The only danger then was the potential for the battery to drain.
