You don't even have to do that- there are adaptors that plug into the old 4 post plugs and have the modular plug(s)- no need to "rewire".
Hell; who uses a "landline" phone in their home anymore!?
True. Even the RJ11 is quickly becoming outdated so I will just put the cover back on. The only service line coming into the homes, other than electricity, is now cable. That could go away too.

Anyone who is worried about tower outages and stuff you can put one of the mini towers in your house. Ties to the broadband system . Works very well. We have weak signal for our cell phone of choice and use one to get reliable local service at home. .
do mini-towers continue to work when the power is out?
No. They run off your network and die if the router goes down. So does virtually anything. I would not count on POT if the power is down for very long. They have some battery backup but gone before a day is over.
If you are really into it a UPS and a battery bank will give you a few hours. Or a generator if you want to be safe against multiple day outlet. Note that your fuel reserve says how long you can last.

Me. I have a very basic cell phone, but I only use it on the road.
I keep thinking I need to drop the land line, but so far, I never have.
