What is a wireless home phone service?

Wireless home phone service is a commercial mobile radio service that is used with home phone equipment in a house or office, on vacation in a hotel or even operated while in motion. Wireless home phone users keep the same phone number and handsets that were used with a landline.

The service does not require an Internet connection to make or receive calls. Wireless home phone service allows users to stay in touch even if the power goes out because the wireless home phone base unit is equipped with a backup battery that allows up to three and a half hours of talk time and 36 hours of standby time.
