My land line still worked, all local cell towers were dead. I was out of town on business (in a pocket of N-E Ohio that had power) but could still communicate with my family via the household land line phone.
My cell phone is on 24/7 as a work requirement, and the built-in phone book is a great tool, but a cell is not as good as a land line.
MagicJack and Vonage still require internet service to operate. I find it laughable how ComCast keeps pressuring me to sign on to their digital phone service - probably because customers can't call to complain when the cable goes dead!
