and many of those who have landlines also have cell phones. Reason being, the chances of both going out at the same time are pretty small, and bad weather hits a lot.

the downside of landlines is that robo calls are heavy.

And weird...earlier tonight I got a robo call supposedly about a political survey, the voice said they were taking a survey of Arkansas voters.

I live in Alabama.
