Title: How many phones are in your home?
Post by: Nancy5 on September 05, 2019, 05:57:38 am
I think we have way too many.  We have 2 cell phones and 8 landline phones.  It was a deal buy the "real phone that plugs into the phone line" and get the rest that just plug into an outlet.

I would like to get an office styled internet phone. If Office Max is trying to think of items to give away, they should think of one of those. I think they are so neat. They are so smooth or something.

We don't have a land line.  Haven't had one since we tried the magic jack over 7-8 years ago. Between everyone in our home we have 5 working phones I know of for sure.  I have recently purchased another for when one goes out because it was a heck of a deal through the company I work for.  Recently busted my kid for using an expired phone from one of her siblings....so hmmm... hopefully there are only 5 in the household working now.

We have two cellular phones in the house. Our son (who is in college) is on our plan but up at school. Our daughter's phone is on our plan (she is adjusting to expenses after graduating in May and starting her new job three weeks ago). My father used to have 28 phones running with two phone numbers-one in each room of the house (two in his main bathroom). He moved and took that number down to fifteen phones. Last week they moved into an assisted living facility. Their new place has five rooms and he has gotten his number of phones down to five (including one cellular phone). Over ninety five percent of my phone usage is texts, e-mails, shopping and investments. I never answer my phone unless it is family and they call twice. I make maybe three calls per month.

We have 3 cell phones in our house but our plan is for 4 since one of those phones are with my other daughter at college.  I still have my landline also but rarely use it unless I need it for work and then it is really only for faxing.

We have two cellphones in our home that work.  We have several regular phones that aren't plugged in to anything.  We did away with our landline a long time ago.

We have two cell phones and a landline phone. We never answer the landline phone because it is like 99 percent scam calls that come in on that phone. If anybody really wants to speak to us using that phone they have to leave a message for us to call back.

We have four cell phones. We have one landline, but it is just for internet use. I still have to keep my phone number that we have had for over twenty years now in order for our internet to work. My internet as you have probably guessed by now is through our phone company.

I have a single cell phone.  There is no landline.  I got rid of it about 5-6 years ago.  I thought I would really miss it but got over that fast.  I have thought about getting one from time to time but then ask myself, "Why?" since I really don't need it.  Who knows if I will ever install one again?

I think a landline might only be good for any lost/missing mobile phone service nowadays.

2 and both are cell phones. I think for 911 purposes I should get a landline but I really don't want another bill to look forward to......So anyway I have a cell and my son has a cell.

I don't have a landline telephone anymore.  I only have a cell phone.  I had a landline for about 40 years and just recently had it cut off.

We have an archaic landline -- it's bundled with my cable package -- with two phones on it.
Then we all have mobile phones... so 5 of those.

My family has 7 phones in the house, with 6 separate phone numbers.  Modern day family...   I guess.

We just recently got rid of our landlines, but when we had them we had 4 PLUS we have 8 people with cell phones! We also have 4 laptops, an iPad, 3 other tablets, and 3 computers. I don't even want to put all the gaming devices/machines we have. I would be here all day as we still have original machines from way back when  :silly:

We have five regular phones and two cell phones. We could really do away with the regular phones, but my husband is leery of doing such a modern thing, LOL! Other than our boys calling from college, every other call is some sort of telephone sale or scam!  :peace:

We did away with out  land line years ago. It is just so much easier having cell phones.  With just the 2 of us we find it is the best way to stay in contact with each other and family.  My father can get one or both of us easier now.  When we had  a land line  we wouldn't know who called until we came home. And with both of us with busy lives it is just a better way of life.

Each of us has a cell and we have a landline set that I swear has about 38 handsets, but I can never find any of them in time to answer when it rings, and they're all always on low battery.

We have 1 landline.  No actual phone...it's the number we give out for the nonimportant places.  It's Vonage, so it's super cheap, and we get every message transcribed sent to our emails.
We also have 4 cell phones.
