I couldn't use the tone-dialing feature
}
Touch tone dials have always been line powered. However, the Princess phones
required external power for something. I have never had a touch tone phone that
couldn't be dialed during a power failure. My current phone on my desk has a
power adapter, but that's for speaker phone etc. I can still dial without it.
It's the only phone I've ever owned that used local power for anything.

The trick still works with the cable interface unit, but it requires household
power, which is another single point of failure problem.
}
You might want to get a UPS for it and your cable modem. My VoIP terminal has
an internal battery that's good for a few hours. I plug my cable modem and
Ethernet switch into the same UPS as I use for my firewall (Linux running on an
old computer).
