We no longer have a landline and don't miss it at all (or the bill).

My 81 year old mother lives with me, and she wants a land line, so we're keeping ours.

We still have a land line. We get horrible cell service at home. So until the cell service gets better we have to keep our land line.

That happened to us in OR this year.

I just read in Reader's Digest 27 % of homes do not have a land line. 23 % intend to get rid of existing one. What is really odd about the article is that 47% of people think it is rude to call them, and they would prefer to convert voice mail to text! wow.

Apparently people don't want to be bothered with "people" any more.
