I will always have a land line. I makes me nostalgic for simpler times, before cell phones and portables. Now you have no idea what the person on the other end is doing while you're on the phone. That said, I know many people who've gotten rid of their land lines, and they seem relatively happy with their decision. But secretly, they're filled with regret!
That's what I'm afraid of, CSS --- regret! And what about when our 24-year phone number goes to someone else, eventually??!
Off and on debate with us also the past few years. We opted to keep land line becuz. . .(1) for our security system (phone line acts as back up for remote signal and vice versa) (2) emergency back up if cell phones would not work (our paranoia) (3) the same number for 25 years and still want to be listed in "white pages" in the event someone wants to find us. (4) It's just bundeled in with cable/internet. and. . .(5) we still get an occaisional call from a family member(s) who refuse to call our cell phone.
We have not had a land line for many years, at least ten. I can't think of one reason to have one. Go for it and enjoy the savings.
I have not had a land line for many years, maybe over 15. I do not miss the bill or the solicitors and Politicians. I especially don't miss the wrong number in the middle of the night.
Moving forward was a decision I made when my dad passed away and I was my mom's house more than my own. I do not regret it and anyone and everyone that needed my number then still has my new number.It has allowed me more freedom and independence than I ever thought possible. Thank goodness for the internet to keep in touch with long distance friends and relatives who rarely called anway. I say go for it. That money is better spent on a cruise! Kp
Did you know you can also keep your land line phone number? check with your mobile company.
Wow, peeps! Thanks very much for all the input. Some very good points here. Karen, I didn't know about keeping the land line number. Will check into that, but wouldn't that negate the benefit of no spam calls and wrong numbers? Hmm. Yet another modern dilemma. Stay tuned. We'll figure it out.
We transferred the land line to my cell phone a few years ago and it's been great. The "kids'" (aka adults)friends still have this number, tho it's not in any phone book.
Plus, there's no new number to remember!
Yep, did away with the land line about 6 months ago and haven't missed it once. Only problem? disguising the switchplate/wires where the main connection was in dining room.
Joyce, I think you've pushed me over the edge. The only extension we had left was in the bedroom so the connection is already behind the nightstand. Done! Land line, over and out!
I always have a land line because I'm self employed and doing a lot of phone work. Also, my cell reception is spotty in my apartment so I use it when I want to have an uninterrupted phone conversation. It's cheap, about $20/mo. because it's bundled with cable and Internet. I also believe (maybe I'm wrong) that if you call 911 from a landline, they can immediately the address where the call was generated but I'm assuming they can't immediately do that with a cell phone.
I don't have a land line, I consider it to be useless! I prefer modern tools. A heritage of digital era, so to say, such as essay writing services. I often apply to online essay service review to find out about reputable services to not to spoil my work at all!
I'm sure that you have heard about the government resume writers online who help people get their winning resume to apply to a new job. If not, you should check them and ask people who have used their services about the level of their work. You will be impressed with the results.
