How many people still have a corded phone, and how many of those would remember that those phones still work when there's no power?

It's much more important to ensure that the cell network is resilient. Backup power, mobile towers that can be deployed to disaster areas, and continuing the rollout of satellite connectivity will help far more people than maintaining landline infrastructure.
