Do you still have a land line?
Today some land line are not rally land line
when I use to have a land line I allway use net zero dial up internet. why at that time it was around $10.00 a month . Now with the new type of land line it kind of wire less the dial up programs will not work on the new type of land lines. before the only reason had a land line was for to have internet service which with the phone service and internet it still was the cheapest I could afford.

I have a landline simply because my internet plan is bundled with it but it's rarely used now.

@eagletrek2 yes and you can even get power from the phone line using a small led dc bulb when it's really an emergency

No. We haven't had a land line in a very long time. I believe since I was in middle school and that was a very long time ago.

I have a landline and I am one of the few people who don't have a cell phone and have no interest in having one.

Yes, we still have a landline phone at home. My grandfather worked as a lineman for the local telephone company. In fact, he was part of the first batch of linemen trained by their foreign counterparts.
Having a landline phone at home is like having my grandfather at home even though he isn't around anymore.

I do not. We have to use our phone line for our internet. The landline was also really expensive and we don't really have anyone that calls us. I barely even get any calls on my cellphone. My dad doesn't even call my number anymore, he uses facebook calling to chat with everyone. It is crazy. I still remember my home phone number too haha

@eagletrek2 The only good thing a landline is good for is for response for emergencies. police and firemen are sometimes a block off when using a cellphone, but they can pin point exactly when using a landline.
we had dial up too...a long time ago.@eagletrek2 (5514)
