    Default Do you still use a landline?

    If you have a cell phone, do you still use a landline for anything?

    A home phone that's run with wires that run either under or above the ground.

    haven't had a land line in 10 years +... lived in europe for so long. D2/Vodaphone had free incoming calls and text messages for a long time... plus i was traveling so much a landline was a waste of money... never knew what country i would be in next week

    for the first time this year I don't have one.

    But I do have a cell phone and DSL. so depending on your POV, that was either an improvement or not.

    We have a landline, my wife actually bought her landline a long time ago, about $500. It used to be that to get a phone here you had to buy your own phone line, when you move you just show proof that you own a line and you get your phone. When you didn't want it you would sell it back or to someone else.

    but we don't really use it, very rarely will someone call us on it, usually her mom or a couple of friends who don't really have a cell phone. We also haven't sent a fax in a long time. I usually forget my home number since I never call it.

    i use all 3.

    i much prefer my landline. and hate cordless landline handsets. spend half my life rushing from room to room trying to find out where my nephew has picked it up and placed it down somewhere random.


    i really fancy actually gutting a modern set and building it to look like an old wall attached phone, the ones with a seperate microphone horn and earpiece

    Landline.

    That's an extra wire for kids to get electrocuted by sucking on.

    That's what that jack in the wall is for, right?

    I had a landline when I first moved to NYC. Awful experiance. Numbers get recycled so quickly that I was getting on average five voice mails a day for the previous person who had the line. Drove me nuts.

    No fucking kidding!! I get at least 6 or 7 calls a day for the wrong damn people. I put up with it though b/c I have a great long distance plan. I can call anywhere in North America for $20/mo. UNLIMITED minutes. I could literally call California and not hang up for 3 days and it's still only $20!

    THATS AMAZING, we used to have a plan like that in Florida, but now we have a plan where we can only call AT&T users unlimited.
