Assume I had a bog-standard phone attached to a VM phone line. Just your average handset, totally powered by the line.

What happens during a total local power cut?

In the case of a BT line, it'll stay on for as long as the generators at the exchange are fuelled and running. I've heard VM's lines go dead, however, which I could kinda believe as a lot of the kit is roadside, and presumably powered from there too, so it's feasible it would go off.

Is it true, or false? Or perhaps differs by previous franchise area?
false.
