Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum |
My home phone has just conked. No idea why or how. So I suspect I'll just not bother with it. If it wasn't for the internet I'd shut the account down.
So do you use your home phone or is it mobiles only in your life now. |

Never use mine... They're cordless... and the batterys have been flat since just after last xmas. Only 2 or 3 people have the number and they know to call my mobile.
I only keep it because the tv / broadband / phone package is cheaper the just tv / broadband. |

Got two landlines one for work one for home. Don't know why I bother with the latter sometimes. Rarely gets used and it's expensive for what it is.
If we had a better mobile reception I'd bin it off. |

I do have one but I've had the sound turned off on it for over a year, and when my mum kept telling me she'd left me voicemail on it I rang Virgin and turned the voicemail off, as I don't like phones and don't like listening to voicemail.
I recently called Virgin Media to change my package to internet only as for some reason I was paying over £40 a month for phone and internet and rarely using the phone. It came down to £22 and they let me keep the phoneline - I suspect because they hope I will use it and run up a bill!
To anyone using their landline to ring 0844/45 numbers, check out 'say no to 0870' on google, you may well find a landline number you can call from your mobile with your normal inclusive minutes. |

Only my mum rings me on my home phone at a particular time once in a while.
I ring her on the home phone as it costs more using the mobile as she is in another continent.  |

"Wot is a good deal on all three these days please phone broadband and tv can anyone recommend any please xx"
all depends in what you want an how much you are wanting to spend
sky or virgin is your best bet
been with virgin had have not that many problems with them
do a postal checker to see if you can have it but shop around first |

"Apart from 0845 numbers, etc. I use a mobileregister with tps an they soon stop"
TPS and anonymous caller rejection is hit and miss.
A lot of companies call from overseas and often get through. |

Use mine all the time, put £10 a month on the mobile use some of the free texts, and some of the data allowance, but have £120 call time at the end of the year as I never call anyone from the mobile, nor do I take it to nights out only for emergency's.
Landline is on a call anywhere package as a lot of calls are to other countries, so use it all the time. |

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |
Family calls in (America and Canada mostly) and work calls out.
Plus my little old Jewish lady. She calls at least once a week asking for her friend Esther. Then when she hears my voice she knows she's dialled the wrong number again. She's been doing it for about 6 years now. |

"

I keep my home phone solely to keep my mum happy.
She has more than one way to contact me.. 
Well actually she has about 5 ways!  |

I use mine for landline and 0800 number calls, also useful for when I loved in a village and had very unreliable mobile signal.
Would never use it to arrange meets, much easier to change mobile numbers than have to worry about stalkers having your home phone number. |

It's never used, but it's useful to have "just in case" plus it's part of the package.. As previously mentioned I have the ringer turned off.
I mainly use it to collect a variety of cold calls from PPI companies, Sky and all those blank computer messages.. And that's after registering with TPS.
I don't delete the messages and when the memory is full I'm never bothered again.
Also it saves giving out your mobile number when you have to provide a contact number on occasion. |

I mostly use my landline as the mobile signal round here is shite and if I take a call on my mobile I have to have my face pressed against the front window in order for it to work so for family n friends its the landline, swinging its the mobile (makes for interesting phone sex) |
