1403396 2015-06-30 00:55:00 Possibly, but if the power is out, I'm gonna use my Cellphone to check the mobile app and find out what's going on in the area rather than sitting in the dark, dialing Directory Services to find my power companies number and then ringing them, sitting on hold like a dozen other monkeys trying to find out what's up... That doesn't sound like fun at all. Chilling_Silence (9)
1403397 2015-06-30 01:03:00 True, but then what? Do you sit in the dark waiting for the power to come back on, happy in the knowledge that you know why it went out? It's nice to know I suppose, but that won't help the linesmen get it fixed any faster. Agent_24 (57)
1403398 2015-06-30 01:19:00 We have been "spoiled" here in NZ as landline calls are "free"

They are built in to the costs of the monthly landline.

In most countries you pay a lower land line fee and then you pay for each call.
