I have a *corded* wall phone in the kitchen. It works when the power
goes out; the cordless in the den doesn't. Late one afternoon last week
when there was a mere *threat* of rain, the electricity went off. I
used the corded phone to report the outage. Fortunately there aren't a
lot of power outages where I live. Otherwise, I don't use that phone.
