A PLDT landline telephone comes with pretty much all of its internet plans, even the newer fiber ones. It seems like there’s no getting out of it, aside from unplugging it if you don’t really need it.

Since it’s already part of your plan, you might want to take full advantage of it. You can use your PLDT landine to contact friends or family during internet service interruption. Or, in similar instances, contact PLDT’s customer service for a fix and assistance.

In addition, you can also use it to make long distance calls. Officially called as PLDT Direct Distance Dialing (DDD), you can use your landline to call mobile numbers and make calls outside your area or even international contacts. This is a great lifeline if you’re out of mobile load or internet connection for online messaging apps.
