Do you people still use landlines
Jump to: Newest in thread
No but my parents and older relatives do as they have a deep mistrust of mobiles, so we have to keep a hand set for them to call. Also how on earth would I know that my arrest for National Insurance fraud was imminent? |

Yes, only one person the mother-in-law ring's through it though as she doesn't want a mobile phone. So we got it just for her to ring us lol. She still got an a to z phone book with everyone's numbers in it too. X |

Yes, land-lines are (for the most part) far more reliable, and in some areas crucial for how weak signal and service can actually be with a mobile phone.
Having a land-line is a great emergency backup to have. Smartphone breaks, service provider goes down, the need to multitask. |

I don't have a physical line to my house, though I do have a landline phone number.
My internet is delivered by fixed access wireless - I have a small receiver dish on the roof, and my 'landline' phone is VOIP. I also have an app on my mobile which means I can answer my landline on my mobile wherever I am. |

"Nope. I've got a line but no actual telephone. My mobile is enough x"
Same. I gave up using my landline when I was getting constant scam calls on it despite being registered with the TPS. So ditched the phone & just use my free minutes on mobile which is limitless. I think the landline has had its day. |

I must be a dinosaur because, I've still got the fax machine connected to mine although that's rarely used these days, and I use the landline regularly as it's more secure than mobiles for transactions. |

"Have to I’m my house, no mobile signal, we must live in a dip as you walk two minutes up the road and you get full bars "
Exactly this for me also. |

Got rid of mine last year when I came to understand I would never have decent broadband due to the physical phone line, no matter the provider (can't get cable).
Moved to 5g broadband and I'm still amazed at how fast it is. |
