What will work in a power outage.?
If your power (in your house) gets turned off will the telephone still work?
Answer:
If you have a land line, yes. The power for the telephone is fed in through the phone line by the phone company. This is separate from the electricity feeding your house. However, if you have a cordless phone, the phone won't work. The receiving base needs electricity in order to function. If you need a phone that can function during a power outage, you need a basic phone. corded work because they get their power fromt he phone lines but cordless dont work because they have to plug into the wall not unless it is corded or one of those old style rotary phones that do not plug into the wall. Cordless phones use electricity. Things that are battery operated... a phone with a cord attached to it should i.e. cordless phones will not work seeing as they plug into the wall but phones with cords do not they plug directly into the phone line.. only if you have a regular phone....if you have a cordless then no,it won't work!! If it is portable, carryaround phone, no. There will be no AC power to power the base unit. If its a non portable type, then yes, cause it gets its power thru the phone company wires. Only corded and cell.
Cordless and cordless gigasets won't work, because they are plugged into the electrical outlets.
Vonage type phones won't work because your modem is dead.
