I have some friends i met about 14 years ago. At the time, they didnt have a landline and only used their mobiles, and i remember thinkig how weird that was. Nowadays, i think i am the only person i know who still does have a landline (with a phone plugged in that still gets used occasionally)
Do you still have a landline?> Is it used?
Only for Internet. I haven't had a landline phone in about 20 odd years and never missed it.
I have made that comment on AB myself, bednobs... and it turned out just about all ABers had a landline phone. Ask again in 20 years... :-) xx
the thing is, phone calls aren't what people use mobiles for. This list is a few years old but I don't believe it's changed
Texting (88% use this)
Email (70% use this)
Facebook (62% use this)
Camera (61% use this)
Reading news (58% use this)
Online shopping (56% use this)
Checking the weather (54% use this)
WhatsApp (51% use this)
Banking (45% use this)
Watching videos on YouTube (42% use this)
i suppose people call each other less anyway nowadays - why actually speak to someone when you can text/FB them?
If our phone goes, t's one of three people - the friends mentioned in the OP, my sister calling from the USA as she has a landline rate that's better than the mobile rate or my sister in law.
Or scammers/chancers
