I do not have a landline. My 90-years old Mom still does. She worked as a phone switchboard operator in the 50’s. I eventually managed to understand the digital world, she did not.

Dumped the land line. Only kept it for my grandmother to call and she’s in a home now. 🥺

No landlines. We never used the thing.

Yes I do. I turn off my cell at night to down the pings and my landline is my lifeline with my family. All good for me.

Yes, because it's free w/package. Also, I am +60 & have had a landline (although shared with 4 other families for the first few years) most of my life & until it cost me $'s probably always will.

I do have a landline. I needed it for work until a couple of years ago, and I've kept it. I've never owned a cellphone. Yes, shocking, I know. I work on a computer, so I never felt the need. Still don't. Corps, govt, please don't make me.

I do. Because I like to be able to find my phone when it rings. Also, in my last apartment there were dead spots, even in the GVA.

We have a landline because my husband is a troglodyte and can't work a cellphone. Same reason we still pay for cable.....

Yes! My MS hands are too fumbly for a mobile.

We have a VoIP line. Mostly because cell reception isn’t reliable enough to trust for phone appointments with the Dr. Also because our youngest will soon be old enough to be home alone, and we aren’t getting him a cell plan until well into his teens.

Todays “Landlines” are VOIP. Power goes out… so does your landline!

Refrigeration? Love it. Light bulbs? Great idea! Locomotive transport? Wonderful. The telephone? Let it go to voice mail. Odd how much of late Victorian tech seems to be indispensible to us now, but for real-time synchronic audio conversation. That one, I find, mostly just gives me the pip.

I haven’t had a landline for 15 yrs! Cell phone only

Still have one here in the middle of southwestern Ontario, our cell service is pathetic even in medium sized towns, only works in house if there is hydro for cell booster. And after talking to people all day who call me for work related issues on their cells I wish more people did! Horrible issues!

No landline, not for years now. Kinda miss the old rotary dials, but that’s about it. No use for them.

Our experience exactly.

I gave up landline many years ago, I found it liberating. So tired of scam calls, at least with cell phone I can block unwanted calls. When we had a tornado pass through it ripped out all above ground wire and damaged a cell tower. Yet, my nephew 100 m away was able to call me.

I HAD a landline until like 2017ish when our company switched to VOIP services for my work-from-home job. Prior to that I had to dial into a landline circuit to get calls lol

We do, dont ask us why.

We finally dropped ours @ 3 years ago. It was feeling silly to keep paying for a number only phone solicitors and scammers called. I do recall in earlier decades my Dad thought the phone line needed to be kept free "for emergencies." And Long Distance was deemed too pricey for much else.

We still have ours as our elderly parents will only call that number. They don’t like change 🤷‍♀️
