Yep. During a storm, if the power went out, my cordless phone went kaput. But my mom's phone, which was a landline, was up and running. Although she'd still tell me not to make phone calls during a storm because I could become electrocuted if lightning would hit the house.View attachment 68400
this was our bedroom phone for years, think my ex still has it.
Was the only phone that worked during a power failure as all the newer phones had too many electrical parts. Was great.
(same deal with taking showers, washing the dishes, etc)
