I just turned off my landline with Verizon because I disconnected my internet with them. The price To have a landline without the internet is ridiculous! I always feel the need for a landline just in case I'm charging my cellphone or just want to talk on the backup phone. Is AT&T any good? Does anyone else have only a landline phone connected now? Most people don't because they have a cell but you never know.

I'm old school and grew up with a land line phone in my house, I remember rotary phones and a time before these smart phones people can't seem to do with out for a half second. I agree with you that it's good to have a land line if your cell phone is charging or broken. Besides, my landline never needs an update and that's a plus! As for AT&T, I wouldn't trust them. I've read online that they charge customers for calls they never made and unexpected fees etc., I use Comcast for my phone service.

I have a landline phone in addition to my cell. I use Comcast. You save if you bundle services with them. They frequently have special offers. It doesn't hurt to ask.

We got my mom a landline back because she never knows where her phone is or has it charged or turned on. I do like having a landline actually if multiple people live in the house.

I have a land line (no cell phone) and I bundle through Spectrum (TV, phone and internet).
-
i do both

Thankyou. I'll check out Comcast, But I don't need a bundle just simple caller ID, Call Waiting, no long distance.

I believe you because when I tried to sign up with them, they said that the system was down and they couldn't take my new customer order or give me a new number. Thanks for this info, I'll be looking into other
options for phone services.

I have both with AT & T. My husband refuses to get rid of the landline although only about 5 people (my 2 sisters, our daughter, our son and his doctor) ever call us on it. We pay $ 50 a month for our landline and think it is a just a waste of money.
-
I'm not surprised. The prices for individual services are barely lower than the bundles the companies want us to pay more for. :bad: ::)
-
I have a landline phone, and the same number for 50 years :)
-
I agree, I'm old school. We have cell phones and a landline
-
grew up with a landline..miss it sometimes actually...but it's just me and hubby..we both have cell phones..

I have a Landline with VOIPO and only pay $180 every two years (so it's about $7.00 a month) and I have a Panasonic phone system that distributes four handsets around the house so I never have to worry about whether my cell phone is charged (or if I can find it). It comes with an amazing set of features that cover everything I would ever need including free long distance anywhere in the U.S. or Canada and inexpensive rates anywhere else.
-
I have a landline phone. We don't have options in our area for landline, we have century link. Also for our internet. The internet is very slow but it's our only option other than Hughsnet and my neighbor has them and said they were expensive and very slow too.

I'm curious what is VOIPO, I have never heard of that.

I have both a landline and cell phone. I've had the land line phone forever.
-
Fifty years for me on a landline, too. I'm with Comcast and bundled services with TV and internet. I don't know why I keep my landline, though, since I only get robocalls. Of course, they are mostly blocked by Normorobo program that Comcast offers for free (one ring as "Incoming Call" and goes to answering machine). Peace.
-
by landline do you mean the ones that plug into a phone jack? No I don't have that. I do have one that plugs in to an outlet. I can take it with me where ever I go but it is not a cell phone. It doesn't run on the net so if I get rid of the internet I still have a phone. I consider that a landline. It's not a voip. I am disappointed with it as I was told it was only going to run 25.00 a month and free long distance. I get the long distance but I pay more than what I was told for it.

VOIPO is a company that uses Voice Over Internet Protocol to supply phone service. My four handset phome system plugs into an adapter that hooks up to my Internet router, Probably the most well known company that does this is Vonage, but they are a lot more expensive than VOIPO.
-
yes, I think that at&t is great. the people that work for them are very nice, if you have a problem they're quick to solve it. I've had them for as long as I can remember.
-
I have both and use them pretty even
-
I do have a landline. I have a cheap basic cell, that I just text and make an occasional call with. I wouldnt want to be without a landline
-
I have a land line and a cell phone and I bundle through Spectrum... TV, phone and internet.
-
I have my landline with Cable which seems cheaper.
-
I totally agree with the price for a landline. If I had say in that in my home, I would get rid of my landline all together.

My wife works part-time as a substitute at school and they make robot calls early each morning to make daily job offers, which she would not get reliably without a land line.

I can (and do) get VOIPO phone with ANY Internet provider for 7 bucks a month paid two years at a time.
-
We used to have a landline, but not anymore, don't think having a cell and landline phone is too much. Having two phone bills is a bit much. We have WOW internet service with Wi-fi, and Sling TV.
-
I got rid of my landline here a long time ago, they were so expensive. So I now have 2 cell phones, 1 for hubby and a smart phone for me. He doesn't want a smart phone, I love mine. And my internet is local . But they are putting in optic lines and I will go nit when it gets to us. The cell phones are consumer cellular and cheap with on problems getting anyone.

that sounds like a very good deal. Where did you find this deal?
-
Yep, got one with my comcast account.
-
I got rid of my landline a long time ago. They were all sales calls and got very annoying.
-
We have AT&T because of a discount we get from work (Warner Bros) that includes our cell phones and our landline. So far the service has been fine.
-
I like everyone else, pay too much for both.
-
I haven't had a landline in almost two years now. I was with CenturyLink for internet and phone and I was going to be gone for about three months because I was having surgery, so I decided I didn't want to pay for something I wasn't using.
-
Yes, I still have a landline only pay about $4.00 a month I am on a plan
-
Have a landline phone. My cell is not a smartphone but still is good when you need it.thinking of getting rid of the landline so many calls I don't want.. think we pay 40.00 a month to much most of the time hate it want to throw it away.
-
I grew up with a landline but for the past 10 years it has been just cell phones at our house.
-
We have a landline but only for incoming calls otherwise we are charged to make calls with the exception of 911 calls. We have kids just in case schools call.

I don't remember, but I just renewed my account for another two years for about the fifth time. You can get more details from Google if you search for it.
A lot of comments here say they hate landlines because they get too many telemarketers, but it's simple enough to block them with most phone companies. With mine I just copy and paste the number from call history into the blacklist.

i still have a landline i just havent cut the cord yet
-
I only have a cell phone not a landline.I cant afford both,i think they charge way to much for landlines
-

I pay $7 a month for unlimited USA and Canada calls, is that too much for service that is at my fingertips every moment and never needs the battery charged or gets lost?
-
I still have a landline phone mostly for work purposes. I don't need to be bothered with work on my cell.
-
Wow the price here just for landline phone basic landline service is only 10-15 dollars. I refuse to cut the cord because cell phones are not always reliable as people put them out to be
-
We have a landline with Vonage for 14.99/mo.
