One reason I don’t care for VoIP at home and recommend to my business customers keeping a POTS for contingencies.
When the electricity goes down you got no internet, no phone, no email, no web, nuttin.
However, Bell engineered a low voltage system that always delivers a charge to even the most distant and remote locations.
Cheap insurance.
Not for me. When Ike took out power, I had lights that worked, had a TV that worked, my old time plug phone in the wall worked, I had fans that worked.
What I can't do, is contact someone in a scenario when even the plug in phone doesn't work.

Please treat me like I don’t know jack about these communications (which I don’t). WHAT IS A “VoIP” AND A “POTS”?
I use VOIP (Vonage) and make the settings to call forward all calls after 15 secs of ringing. It will also forward all calls to a phone number of your choice in case the Internet is down. These are permanent settings until you change them.
I have these set to call my cell phone.
