I like the idea of having everything on one bill like that. I didnt want to have to deal with using another provider.

@AutumnSnow It is not bad. All our providers are offering these TV/internet/phone packages. I asked in the past to remove the phone, and I was said that it was impossible, because it was in all their packages. Calls to other landlines in France and a few foreign countries are free, and I have finally connected a phone.

I have a landline phone that I use more than the cellphone. It comes in a combo with the cable TV and internet so I would not pay less if I returned it. The calls I make to other parts of the country with that phone are free of charge so I can do "phone visits" without the hearing problems of whatsapp.

That's what I liked about doing the bundle package like that. I like to try an keep as few as bills as possible. Makes it easier to remember to pay them all,lol.

I have no idea about your place. However, in India land line phones exist and many people use it. Land line phones are better than mobile phones because voice quality is always better on landline phones. We have two landlines phones.

We have a landline that is bundled in with the internet. I have thought of getting rid of it because we just get junk calls all day, every day. We have better cell phones that work in the house now. We had to go out to talk on the old ones.

@akalinus I like the landlines better as I can put it under my chin and do things that require my hands. I cannot keep my cell phone under my chin. I get very frustrated.

I have a land line that I use 100% of the time @AutumnSnow . The only time I ever use a cell phone is if I'm going to drive any distance and would use it for an emergency.

The landline phone still exists at my home

I accept that today we don't use it often because we all have our mobile phones. However, the elders still prefer to use the landline phone rather than the mobile phone. Perhaps the charge is cheaper. And besides we have an ADSL at home, we still need to have the landline.

Sometimes you can get deals and the landlines are cheaper. I've never had any use for a phone till I got this job. I was able to add it to my cable/internet package and it didnt raise my bill that much more.

Although we do have a landline, we don't really use it. My husband and I use our cellphones more. It's the numbers we give, as it's the easiest way to reach us. Honestly, I do think that landlines are becoming extinct. I don't think many people use them much any more.

Here in Australia we only use a landline. While we have a mobile phone, the reception isn't always good. I think there are many who would be like us and have both. Landlines are alive and well here.

I think as internet phones become more popular the old fashioned traditional landlines will be extinct some day. I guess it's like with every new technology that comes out the old fades away.

We have a landline and could not be without it really. As for phone packages I told them to forget it after the first and the second one did not ever work at all. So that was the end of that. Hope your job goes good for you.

Thank you I worked a psychic line a long time ago but too many distractions got in the way because my children were young now. Hopefully now it should be better that their a lot older and they know when mom's on the phone be quiet. lol

When we bought this house a few months ago, we had to get a land line as it is a gated community and when people come to visit us we have to see them on the gate cameras and let them in. It all works on the tv and landline.

Well that was an easy fix for you haha Most places still have phone jacks, but phone services get so expensive that it is just easy to have a cellphone. But most things like psychic lines happen so they don't actually call your personal number, that would be creepy.
