Cut the Cord!
Several years ago when I started my career in wireless phones, I had a discussion with my trainer. She assured me that before long most people would just have a personal phone number, instead of trying to track someone down at a location such as home or work.
A recent survey found that about one in four cell phone users who have a landline phone would cut the cord if their cellular phone’s reception were better. The survey also found something else very interesting; 69 percent of cell phone users say the reason they now have a landline is simply because they always had one.
Other interesting points found in the survey were:
- Most consumers grade their reception at home as a B-
- 69 percent have experienced some kind of service problem such as dropped calls, poor signal reception or dead zones
- 62 percent of those that use their phones at home have done something to try and make or receive a call including going outside, going by a window or just gave up and used the landline.

Many of us have trouble with cell phone reception at some time or another; either at home, the office or in between in the car. Dropped calls, delayed text messages and missed voice mail messages are some of the telltale signs of poor signal strength. These symptoms may even seem minor to those of us that have to go outside in the cold or rain for even a hope of completing a call.
