Do you still receive landline calls? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 93/100. eileenleyva (821)   ranked 45 out of 91 in telephone5 months ago

It's the cellphone age! It's also the laptop age. Communication had been made easy because these portable gadgets can be brought to wherever one goes. Even a friend in another country is just a text away. Chatting is even convenient if your are sipping latte at a coffee shop. Just a few moments ago though, I received a surprise long distance call from my best friend an ocean away. She took time to dial my number to greet me Happy Birthday. And of course we had a warm conversation about mushy things, quite trivial to others I am sure. I did receive many natal greetings on my cell and even on the net. It was actually heartwarming to hear a friend's voice. Makes existence more human. wink

Yes i still got a landline phone and i get most of the calls on it,even if i have a mobile i rarely use it and prefer to use a landline than a mobile.


myLot reputation of 93/100. eileenleyva (821)   ranked 45 out of 91 in telephone  5 months ago

I prefer landlane to cellphone, too, especially if the lengthy calls are with my loved ones. wink I use the cellphone just to know when and where must I fetch my two girls. Friends send me jokes thru cell, though, and I kinda like receiving them. thumbup

Yeh, we still receive landline calls although we have three mobiles as my in laws stays at home and our relatives call on landline number. my in laws feel very convenient on landline only and not on cell phone. They can,t hear anything on cell phone and don,t knowe how to operate so landline is good for them.


myLot reputation of 93/100. eileenleyva (821)   ranked 45 out of 91 in telephone  5 months ago

Why, bhargavoza, that is also my problem. I couldn't hear anything on cellphone. I always end up shouting and before I know it, everybody's looking at me as if I am the most unlikely creature on earth. cry Operating is another matter. I'm counting what - say seven years - and I still have to relearn each time how to put my gadget on a silent mode. Pathetic!surrender

I get tons of landline calls. It's mostly from family since friends would usually call my cellphone or use the internet but I'm always using the landphone. Partly because of my grandfather who lives downstairs and calls whenever he needs me or just wants to talk. My aunt also calls a lot since she lives in another country. Being on the internet is fun but nothing like hearing the voice of a loved one

I have a landline at my house; just for when relatives call from overseas though. And bill collectors/businesses (I hate giving out my personal cell number)


myLot reputation of 93/100. eileenleyva (821)   ranked 45 out of 91 in telephone  5 months ago

Yes, I give my landline number, too. Like you, the phone is for loved ones in a far away country.

I sedom use my cell phone as it is pay as you fo. i probably have only used it about 7 or 8 times since Dec 08 when i got it for a gift. I do use my landline all the time, both to make and receive calls. I am not a person who spends very much time on the phone though.


myLot reputation of 93/100. eileenleyva (821)   ranked 45 out of 91 in telephone  5 months ago

I need to have a cellphone just to know where and when do i fetch my daughters. The cellphone had sort of become a necessity. I prefer the home phone, too.

Yes, we still have our land line mostly because all of our friends and family know the number by heart and it would be a hassle to have them call our cell phone after all these years. Plus we have a teenage daughter, ther cell phone bills would kill us with her. She can talk to her local friends as much as she wants on our land line and it won't cost extra or use up too many minutes.


myLot reputation of 93/100. eileenleyva (821)   ranked 45 out of 91 in telephone  4 months ago

That is precisely what I had been telling my girls. The landline is cheaper and they could exchange lots of ideas verbally instead of corresponding through text messages. But the cellphone prevails. surrender Seems the little gadget is the fashion of the times. Sigh!

Hi eileen! Wow, my landline phone is just gathering up dust on its desk! LOL! We only had it installed because of our internet. It's such a surprise when it rings and when it does, the call usually comes from a telemarketing agent. Hehehe! But I must say that it's not totally useless even if it's not used for the internet. I find it convenient to use when, for example, calling the credit card's customer hotline or say, making restaurants reservations, or simply just calling some friends' office number when I find it easier to call them than to text them:)


myLot reputation of 93/100. eileenleyva (821)   ranked 45 out of 91 in telephone  3 months ago

Ha ha. Call center agents also alarm my quiet household. angry I keep the telephone for internet services, too. I recently discovered though that we could access to one because of my rich neighbor. Ha ha. glare

Yes, I do. I am actually using a landline plus phone. This phone is like a landline only that it is wireless. So when people want to call me, they can use their landline without paying for any long distance charges as they call me. Whenever I call any landline, then its free for as long as its in the same area code. Moreover, I can receive call from any mobile phone as well as text messages.

Techonology is rising fast nowadays, still my landline phone is useful in relating to my work and business. Though you are right about portable gadgets like the mobile phones which are very multi-functional things in this world today, my landline phone is the most convenient one. It is much cheaper and practical, that it does not need to cost you much in communicating. Mobile phones on the other hand are expensive, because in every call you make and in every minute you use, you will be charged. Even if you can make short messages or what we call text messaging, the negative part is that you will be charged per text/message and your communication is not directly comprehended.

You are very right. That is why my landline is precious, ha ha.
