My wife is after me to get rid of our home's telephone landline, since we both have cell phones.
It makes me feel uncomfortable to give up something I was raised with. I was lost for several years after they got rid of phone books. (I ran out of things to rip in half.) I remember party-lines, but barely.
On the other hand, I just realized that all we seem to get on our landline anymore are junk calls or scams.
Have you kept your landline? If so, why?

Haven't had one in fifteen years. I do remember my home phone number from forty-five years ago. Me too.

Yes, I still have a landline. Same phone number since the 1960's. I don't have a smart phone. I have a cheap TracFone that I turn on going to work and on the way home, just in case my wife needs to get ahold of me, that's it. I know this might be a shock to some, but, I've NEVER sent a text message. What a dinosaur I am!

I still have my lane line, When I have a hard time hearing someone I go to my lane line. Still work if the power is out a long time and I can not charge my cell phone.

Ditched the landline 8 years ago. No point in paying for something you never use. Unless, it's a gun or traps, of course!

Don't plan on doing away with my land line,its the one my customers call on. I do have a cell phone and find it a pain in the backside. I still remember party lines and remember my phone number from 65 years ago. Wish cell phones had never come into being--it seems to have dumbed down so many people,that need to be on them--no matter where they are our what they are doing. Tom

Yep pat of package deal for the fiber optic internet or wouldn't have it. 2 long and a short was our ring on the partyline as a kid. Never did like talking on a phone.
