Ecoflow to power the home Phone.

The old UK phone system supplied power to each phone on the network over the wires, but it also had a backup generator at the telephone exchange, so in the event of a power outage everyone’s phone would still work, that mattered for the making of emergency calls. There was no need for the household to supply power to the phone unless in later years the phone had a base station charger or answer machine. The phone in the photo is still one of my home phones, it was made in the 1940’s and still works.

Now the UK phone network is changing over to Voice over Internet which draws it’s power from your WiFi router so doesn’t work in an outage. That means that you would only be able to make calls including emergency calls if you have your cellphone and only then if your cellphone battery has power and the local cell isn’t affected by the local power outage.
That makes owning our Ecoflows even more important to our readiness plan. Usually, we wouldn’t plan to power the WiFi in an outage, but knowing that we can if we need to is great.
That is Ecoflow supplying power to our little part of the UK phone network.
We might just have to power different.
