era has taken the world by storm.
In fact, less than 50% of American
households use landlines and
have opted for the convenience
and functionality of the mobile
phone. So why are companies like
us still selling landlines?
At Buckeye Home Medical,
our first and foremost priority is
the safety of our customers. That
is why we hand pick products that
were designed for simple use and
helpful amplification. With cordless
options, programmable photos
for quick caller recognition,
emergency necklace buttons, and
many other convenient features,
our phones make communicating
simple and safe for your loved
ones. That’s why we stuck with
the landline. Landline phones
have proven to be a safer resource
for senior citizens than mobile
phones. Let’s take a 911 emergency
for example. Cell phones
require a GPS-based process to
find your location and transmit
that location to the nearest cell
tower. A home phone is already
connected to a specific address
so the operator can know exactly
where to send help as soon
as they get the call, even if the
caller is unable to speak. Another
reason home phones are
a more dependable resource is
because they are still reliable in
unpredictable weather, which
we happen to get a lot of here
in Tennessee. Satellite-based
internet services in rural areas
often have outages during
storms when cell towers are
majorly affected. Home phones
draw their power from underground
lines that are protected,
powered, and sustained by the
companies who installed them
and are therefore, much less likely
to be disrupted when a summer
storm rolls in. Landlines have also
demonstrated better sound quality
than cell phones time and time
again. No glitches. No scratches.
Just the ability to actually hear
what the person on the other side
of the call is saying.
We offer various helpful home
phones for you and your loved
ones to find the connection. You

our selection. There is a safe and
healthy way to connect with the
world around you and we hope
you and your loved ones can find
it with us.
