Do you have a landline phone?

[Mr. Carnelian]

There's no point having a landline these days. It's just a needless extra expense.

It's cheaper and easier to just have a mobile phone.

My land line is $20 a month. Much cheaper than a smart phone plan

Ha! Smart phone plan. I wasn't really thinking of those, to be honest. My mobile phone plan is pay-as-you-go, straight up phone and text, no internet or data.

I don't use my phone much, so that's all I need.

I've only paid £4 in phone bills since January, so for me it would be a LOT more expensive to have a landline.

Nope. Even my 50+ year old parents threw their landline out over 5 years ago.

[Pheesh]

We kept ours plugged in because it was the easiest way for me to call Night Fury while she wasn't able to work over here. I hate the damn thing though, the only time it rings is when there's a telemarketer.

[Night Fury]

Yeah we got it fitted in Aus so my Mum could call. She never did. Charming of her.

Over here we have one because it's part of the package.

[Sephex]

I only communicate exclusively by carrier pigeon. Even these posts are typed by a well trained bird that flies off far away to a random computer that is exclusively connected to sites that I use.

[Pumpkin]

No. I have a pay-as-you go, unlimited texting and 250 minutes which is more than I use. I pretty much only call my mom, but I text a lot so there you go

[sharkythesharkdogg]

The only reason to have a landline phone is so you can have a sweet 80's style hamburger phone. Or the one that's a pair of lips. Or the one that has a clear case with all the neon colored bits inside. Or the Garfield phone.

You get the idea.

cellphones seem so lacking now

[escobert]

My dad has zero cell phone reception on his farm. Hell they just got upgraded from 56k like 3 years ago and the DSL they can get might as well be 56k. Not everyone lives where cell phones and internet are easily accessible...

cellphones seem so lacking now

what do you mean?

[Ayen]

Not for a while now. I think my dad got ours pulled because he was tired of advertisers always calling.

[Mirage]

You can opt out of those here. It actually works too. Of course, if you don't, they'd call you on your cell anyway

[escobert]

My step dad would just always do this when they called

"Hi, what time do you eat dinner? Why? Because you guys call me every night while I'm having dinner. I'll call you back when you're in the middle of yours."

[noxious.sunshine]

Yes.

Jay and I are so funny with it. If one of us is out and we know the other is home, we'll call the house phone to get in touch with the other person so that we can make use of it.
