Yes, your landline phone will still work provided it's not dependent on electricity or doesn’t require a digital adapter. Traditional analog landline phones are powered through the phone line itself and will work even during a power outage. However, if your service is VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) or uses a fiber optic network, you’ll need a backup power source to keep it operational during outages.
