Today, do you still have a landline phone in your home? I do not have one, but would not mine getting one as a backup phone.

Yes, I still have a landline phone. I live in the country with no cell towers nearby so I get no signal at all. Hence the landline. Besides if the cellular network crashes or an asteroid knocks the communication satellites out of place how are you to call your cellular network to complain... :silly:

I have a house phone but the phone don't work anymore.  I use my cell phone for everything.  All I ever got on my house phone was sales calls.  Hope everyone has a good day and may God bless each of you and keep you safe. :)

I like to have a landline in my home, although don't use it that frequently. Since I get inclusive calls on my mobile phone, it doesn't make sense to make calls on my landline. However, the two main reasons I keep my phone is firstly, occasional surveys/web interviews require  the occasional use of a landline, secondly, some of my relations live in other countries and it makes it easier for them to call me on my landline. I use Skype whenever possible for international calls, but some older relations don't have internet and therefore can't use Skype.

I still have a land line phone as my youngest does not have a cell phone yet and his friends contact him on our land line.

yes I do still have one :) I also now have a cell which is handy if the power goes out to call the power company.

Since I have my landline through the cable company, if the power goes out so does the phone

Absolutely with four extensions and have no plan to eliminate it. It is more reliable than a cell phone and never needs to be charged toi work. At about $6 a month, it is not a financial burden and it lets me use a less expensive cell phone plan too. In fact in addition to our home phone, my wife and I each have a cell phone and the total bill for everything is less than $35 a month.

I dropped the landline about 4 years ago. Now with all of us having cell phones we don't need a landline.

I do have a landline.
I changed from Centurylink to Vonage earlier in the year.
They require a landline and hookup to the internet.
