I have vtech 5.8 phones that you plug in to the electric socket. It is also connect to the internet.So if the power goes out so does the phone. What phone can you get the will work if the power and cable goes out
plug your phone into the UPS on your computer. This will keep the phone working for a couple minutes, but the internet access may go away too. What you need to keep the phone working is a traditional land line, a traditional phone used for power failure. Even in big businesses that use a PBX or eKSU, we install power fail phones. SOME Vtech phones have a slide out drawer in the base unit where you can charge a battery. This will keep the base unit working without power.
You need either 1. A conventional land-line WITH a CORDED phone. If it's not corded, you need a wireless phone with a battery-powered base 2. If you use VOIP (internet-based phone) you should look into a service provider that gives you a modem with a battery. But really, unless you use a regular land-line with a corded phone, you are relying on batteries which need replacing (even the rechargeable ones) plus it's difficult (not impossible) for 911 calls to automatically be traced to your location.
