They're a lot more resilient than the cell phone network, especially if there's a mass disaster.
They tend to work better in basements or deep in buildings.
They don't get annoying amber alerts (important in Canada where they're all sent as Presidential/ICBM), constant "IRS" or "Dell" call spam from your area+exchange code (ie: lookalike numbers that seem internal to your hospital) or SMS spam.
These are excellent features if you're on-call, but must respond to anything.
