Why People Still Spend Money on Landlines
zBoost Smartphone Survey Finds 18 Percent of Consumers Who Have a Landline Keep It Due to Poor Indoor Reception
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Eighteen percent of consumers who have a landline keep it due to poor indoor cell phone reception including poor indoor reception, choppy voice, and missed calls, according to the zBoost Smartphone Survey, commissioned by zBoost, a leading provider of consumer cell phone signal booster kits and conducted online in December 2014 by Harris Poll. The zBoost line of cell phone signal boosters, showcased at Pepcom at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), increases indoor cell phone signal allowing consumers to drop landlines and enjoy the features of their smartphone in the comfort of their home.
"Most of us have experienced that 'Can you hear me now?' moment where we can't hear someone on our mobile phones. Eighteen percent of consumers are tied to landline phones due to poor signal - they could use a zBoost and save money," said Karen Reynolds, president of zBoost. "The zBoost product line provides an easy-to-use cell phone signal booster that ends missed and choppy voice calls by minimizing dead zones. With the addition of a zBoost cell phone signal booster, consumers can stay connected, organized and entertained with their mobile phones."
