Get matched with top landline phone service providers in Villa Ridge, MO

Having a landline is often worth paying for, if only for the peace of mind it provides. While some homeowners opt for cell service and internet only for communication, cell towers and internet lines can get knocked out of service during storms or natural disasters. Landlines can continue to work even if the power goes out, and telephone lines are more likely to continue to work in emergency situations. Paying monthly for a landline might seem like an unnecessary expense until you need it, at which point it could be invaluable.

The average cost for a single landline in your home is around $24 per month, but some carriers offer lines for between $12 and $40 per month. If you also want access to cable TV and internet, it’s often more affordable to bundle services with a single carrier. The average cost for all three is around $80 per month, and prices for different bundles range from $50 to $150 or more, depending on what’s included.

You can check with neighbors to see which phone service—if any—they have and whether or not they’re satisfied with the service.
