SBC Urges Consumers to Maintain Landline Phones for Safety

In the wake of last week’s blackout affecting 50 million people in the U.S. and Canada, SBC Communications is urging consumers to maintain at least one corded landline phone in their homes and businesses to ensure reliable voice and data communications during a disaster. Additionally, SBC pointed out that its DSL and dial-up Internet services continued to be available during the blackout for users with battery-powered notebook computers.
