If VoIP needs an internet connection, what happens if I have a power cut?

Question

Accepted Answer

You can prepare for a power cut in two easy ways. 1. Use your mobile phone with Phonely’s Call App. If you have a mobile phone that has an adequate signal at home, you can use your home phone number via Phonely's Call App . The app uses your mobile data, and when you make calls, the person you're calling will see your landline number - just as if you were calling from your home phone. 2. Use a UPS battery backup. If you live in a mobile signal black spot and cannot rely on your mobile phone, then you can get yourself a UPS battery backup. A UPS battery backup can be plugged into any device (including your router) to give it power should your electricity go out. We don't currently sell any UPS battery backups at Phonely, however, you can find them easily online. If your home phone should go offline, and you don't have either of the above options, your trusted person will be alerted after a few minutes. This means that they can check on you to make sure all is well and you won't feel panicked, isolated or alone.
