We got rid of the land line several years ago. Anyone still have one?

We still have ours as the wife never seems to remember to charge her cell phone. It’s actually included in our cable package so it’s not very expensive.

Just canceled mine a month ago. Hated to do it, but service for the shîtty lines was almost non-existent. And since they put a cell tower up that reaches my house and Musk cluttered up the star nerds sky with space junk I was able to cut the tether and tell them to gfy. Saved a significant amount of coin per month

Getting ready to have one again.
Property we bought and are getting ready to build on has very minimal cell service. Texts will go out but loading any pics to send rarely happens.

Our land line is my wife's only phone. She refuses to get a cell phone. Does that make me and my old Trac Fone flip phone look up to date and trendy? At least I can text the kids when I have to reach them. They rarely answer their phones.

Still have one. I can see a cell tower one mile east and one mile west but still get spotty service in the house.

Yes of course.
The rotary phone still hangs on the wall where it always has.

We have ours. I give my cell # to only a select few people. One of the reasons for that is that I have no idea how to retrieve voice mail on the infernal thing. A main reason for having the land line is that it is combined with our computer service and we get unlimited long distance with that. This is invaluable for the conversations between my wife and her sister which can last longer than a cricket test match.
