    Vermont as I recalled had pretty troutty cellphone reception. It's basically a third world country. I much rather having my mobile phone working in every single place possible including places it shouldn't like under water and in a subway. Thanks Verizon ig. The last time I had a working landline was 2010 I believe and it used it as my "office number" for my freelance gigs.

    Yep. It's great for international calls in particular, but I use it for pretty much all the phonecalls I make from my flat.

    Skype is okay, but it's not as good as a landline. Much better quality and you can roam easily around your flat. I know there is Skype for phone, but as with the PC version, it's poor quality and there's something about having a touchscreen pressed against the side of your face that isn't pleasant when compared to a plastic phone. The latter doesn't stick so much.

    The WiiU video chat actually has pretty good audio quality. That's what starlet and I use :3

    FaceTime is also amazing if you both have iPhones, but I guess that most people don't.

    I have a land line for a number of reasons, I have a mobile with 500 minutes but for the last seven days my network has been having problems so thank god I had my land line otherwise I wouldn't have been able to call anyone. I also like to have a landline so I can call 111 for medical advice (which because of my medical condition I use fairly often) and my Mum doesn't have a mobile so when I'm out I can call home and check she is ok (as she also has medical problems). Lastly its a part of my Virgin bundle and my Mum uses it to call her friends all the time.
