My ISP provides a landline number all you can dial locally. But yes if the power goes down as it has happen, the landline goes dead. If you wanted it, you would probably need to pay that $55 or $65 per month fee to Telecom/Spark. Not sure how it is configured down the road at the cabinet thoug if you have both UFB and Copper.
