The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.

I have one but I'm not sure why I keep it. I tell myself it's for a "just in case" scenario but... :shrug:

I've been wanting one of those clear 1980s phones that would light up when it rang. Having a hell of a time trying to find one.

I got rid of mine in 2005, op. Probably would have been earlier, but my ex-wife didn't trust cell phones at the time and wanted the landline as a backup.

My landline is tied in with my internet and cable package. If I were to cancel the phone, it ceases being a "package" and I somehow then pay more overall for my internet and cable. As a result, yes, I have a landline. And I never answer it.

Had one until parents replaced it around 2008/2009 with wireless home phones, which soon got replaced by a home cell phone, which soon got replaced by personal cell phones. My family also had dial-up until we got rid of our landline, which was a major pain in the rear end for preteen me trying to use the internet or play online video games.

I have a landline for three reasons.

1. I am old.

2. Inertia.

3. I have a package deal for cable, internet, and landline phone service. Sitting down and trying to untangle the package deal is more hassle than it's worth.

Always have, always will.

When everything else dies, the land line works. Buried lines, easy to fix, transmit data, send faxes, connect to a BBS, Teletype, Minitel. Always works.

My cell phone works most of the time. My land line always works.

I was on site at a job, overheard two 20ish girls talking about a date one of them was on the night before.

“That guy you’re you left with, how old was he anyway?”

“I don’t know, but he had a landline.”

Felt so old. They sounded like the guy was wearing a powdered wig.
