Thread: Do you still have a landline?

  1. #11
    We pay $96. per month for land line and internet. Our pre paid cells we just top off once a year for $10 and the minutes roll over. We don't give out the cell numbers except to closest family members. Some times I use more minutes keeping in touch with dd when I'm out so we may add an occasional $10. now and then.

    Ditto and I hear ya, Sis.

    ... Been trying to get Hubby to get rid of our landline for years, because it only rings 2 or 3 times a WEEK... and then, it's usually a telemarketer or some other type of phone scam.

    Now that I'm retired, and we have started to look for ways to cut expenses, he's almost ready to "cut the cord" (LOL)

    His biggest hesitation is that he thinks the landline will provide communication, if we get an EMP attack and the cell towers go down - But I keep saying "If the towers go down, nine times out of ten, the landlines and most other utilities will be affected too."

    I think I'm wearing him down... Slowly, but surely.

    Yep. Very handy if they are only 3 feet away. Or you could just talk without them.

    We cut the landline about 5 years ago. We kept it because of free calling to Canada where our kids live. But we now use Facebook messenger for calls. No minutes for either of us, and no cost.

    i have a landline, but I don't have a phone hooked up to it. I get my internet thru phone provider and it's about $30 cheaper to package landline/internet than just internet. Crazy aint it lol

    I'm currently pulling the plug on the last land line. The rationale for keeping it this long was that in the case of hurricane, etc that the land line would stay on. Well, turns out that is no longer the case, if things do go down the towers are going to be brought back up before land lines.

    Also cutting the cord on cable TV, going air antenna and roku with at&t fiber connection. So far, so good! Saving close to 140.00 a month.

    For the past two years we have had a hughes net satt phone and internet. Our cell phones are off tower here. Just last month our power company finalized fiber optic internet. Our cell phones work, internet flies like NASA. The old hughes net phone was like an old landline in looks and function. Glad to have tossed their raunchy service.
