Home phone...land line

We are keeping our "land line" (home phone) as a service to Robo, Begging, Charity etc callers.
If we give it up as so many have done, it would make the callers start to call cell phones.
Don't thank us for thus charitable service...

 

We still have ours, two of them in fact. One is for the no longer relevant fax line, the other for family emergency calls and home protection system.

Edit: Oh, and for my wife's sweepstaking hobby. Since land lines are in the minority these days, it makes it easier to win call in contests.

 

I live in the mountains, cellphones don't work here. I can and do connect my cell phone into our wi-fi; but the voice quality is awful sometimes.

We still have a landline and probably always will. Not enough people live here to make it worth installing a cell tower.

 

I think we have one, it comes free with our data connection. That said, we don't have a phone to plug into our router.

I haven't had a "home" phone in many years.

 

We keep one due to the cheaper service bundle that covers home use data (unlimited and fast), land line and tv package (Crave-HBO/Netflix). In our case it costs less than home data and tv package without a land line. Every few weeks we check for messages, they tend to left by robots.

 

i havent had one in years.

 

I still have one but only because my 10 y/o son doesn't have a cell phone and is sometimes home alone. It's also easier to avoid calls from my boss when he only has my home phone.

That being said, I get my share of spam phone calls on my cell phone as well.

 

We still have one. I have no idea why because it's a $ drain that isn't part of a package "deal."

 

now that i think about it, i dont know anyone personally under the age of 60 that still has one

 

Following!this seems like a very interesting thread
