Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Who still has a land line??

Yes, cell service is the shytes here so we have the landline for all phone use, also if the power go's out we still have a phone. The power here go's out here alot.

All we got were sales calls, with cell it has setting that if you phone doesn’t recognize the number, it doesn’t ring. I like that!

Finally dropped mine early last year. 90% of what I got on it was sales calls, mostly automated.

We do! While we also have a cell phone. Most of our neighbors also have landlines….as we are about the only ones that have cell phone reception! memtb

Yes. They work when the cell won't. Like when the power goes out and one has to report it.

I have a dozen or so land mines strategically placed....

LINES, NOT MINES!

I only have a landline, have no use for cellphones.

I still have a landline. Number is unlisted so I don't get the bullshit spam calls and VERY few people have the number. I did it because cell service here SUCKS and the power goes out on a weekly basis and YES I still have a phone that requires no external power source to work. The only drawback is that with the new fiber optic garbage they put in a few years ago, it only works for a few hours before the battery in the box outside dies and when that happens so does my landline. I can however, hook the generator up to power the house and that charges the battery.

Had a real AT&T landline until 2009. Dropped it and took up a voice over IP line for a flat $10/month to the cable company. Can call the entire country for no additional cost, international calls are pennies per minute. Starting to consider dropping it because of spam calls and because people are starting to assume that all phone numbers are smart phones these days and they expect to be able to send it text messages. Might go cell only in the near future.

I still have a landline.
I'm a pastor and need to be available.
Cell work in my house unless I have wi-fi, which in a storm I often do not.

Yes.

Yep.....do here......

same price as w/o the land line

Fiber internet & land line for $85/month

We do!

When I hear “landline” I think copper wires. The other stuff is just a cell phone on the wall

Hanco: Yeah - me.
Our sophisticated alarm and monitoring services needs it - in the long run I think its worth the cost.

For you fellers that only have it for innanet, ask about “ naked dsl”.

It’s innanet only, without the upcharge for a phone connection.

For years we only kept the LL for the dsl. A phone tech mentioned the naked line. When I called ACS, the gal says, “ oh sure you can get that”. Never mentioned it during any of the calls about their promises of improved net connection.

Fired them when I was able to get FiWi from another provider.

Think we dropped 2007? Been a second.

I still have my land line, and a cell phone. Cell phone is almost useless where I live. Text messages will sneak through fairly often, but calls in and out, rarely. I mostly have my cell phone for use when in my truck and away from home. Problem is the telephone company keeps asking the public service commission to let them abandon the land lines because of people going to cell phones and not enough usage now. I think I see no phone here in a few years. miles

Until very recently my internet came through my land telephone line, but now is fiber optic supplied from my power company, along the power lines. I see problems with ice in the future, but not it is the best internet that I have ever had. miles
