Do you use your landline?

We never bother to answer the landline. Callers can leave a message but very rarely do. Usually trying to sell something, I expect. We wouldn't bother with it but it's part of our broadband and TV bundle.

Don’t bother with my landline anymore, it’s only scammers that ring anyway.
Everyone who I know has got my mobile number anyway. And the other reason is, my cochlear implant works with Bluetooth directly with my mobile, that’s something I can’t do on my landline ??

We have a landline which apoarently is live but stopped ringing the phone years ago (we tested different phones in different points in the house with the same result). Nit worth getting rid of it as its part of the media package, so just use the number to put into forms where a number is compulsory and so we won't get bothered by scam calls.

We still use our landline. My mum and most of our friends still have theirs, so most of our chats are carried out on it. We have call blocking now, so not bothered by scam calls.
Our sons phone me on my mobile as they don’t use landlines, and it’s generally unlimited time.

Yes, because I don't own a mobile! Neither do I ever intend to buy one.

The more I see of morons enslaved to the damned things, the more I am glad I never succumbed.

We use free What's App for most calls. Then the landline is free for a one hour call, yesterday a call to a friend was 59 mins 30 seconds!!

We have both a landline and a 4g mobile and use both regularly depending on who we are calling. We do however now take a mobile up to the bedroom where we have a landline extension, on the advice of the fire brigade in case a fire should disable the main phone downstairs. We’d never thought of that. Wouldn’t be without either.

I do not have a mobile and neither do I want one so yes I use my landline for phone calls - it's what it's for!

Brahumbug

If you have a good 4g signal where you live, you can have broadband without a landline, we do!

Tell me more about this please as I was always told you need the landline for internet

Oh and ours isn’t connected think the phone is in a cupboard somewhere we all have mobiles as I’m in the yard a lot and used to miss calls, not now I have my mobile

We get calls on it and have CallGuardian on it which has, pretty much, got rid of all cold calls - wonderful!

Yes, I still use our landline. I hate answering calls on my mobile.

Haven't had a landline for 10 years now or internet for that matter. I find my mobile is far handier as everyone's numbers are stored in it and I don't go online an awful lot as not on fbook,etc. Plus I don't have that extra bill either!

Isn't it just Caro! Can't remember the last time one got through. Actually I can, but it was only because I accepted it because I didn't catch the garbled message and we were waiting on a call from a company not in our phone book.

I don't have a landline; I had one installed but it was so poor the router couldn't connect.
I had it removed and got £200 compensation.
I have to use the hotspot on my mobile phone to get internet access.
I wish that phone companies would use some of their huge advertising budgets to provide a stable phone signal for those of us who rely on phone masts.
Fibre broadband is still a dream for us living in rural areas.
Our landline comes accross fields on a single overhead wire.
Why can't they replace the old copper overhead wire with a a fibre cable?

Meant to add on the existing poles.

I am in the minority as I don't have a smartphone. I have a very basic phone for emergencies and it is switched off most of the time. I only use the land line. Even if I had a smartphone I would only use my land line. I don't understand the obsession with smart phones, I hate to see mothers on the bus texting and ignoring their children.

Yes , we still have our landline

Only have landline for internet the actual phone is in bottom of the drawer never been plugged in.

Yes,living away from family.l pay £5 a month gives me unlimited talk time.l
I get a monthly bill one call to my parents costs me between 8- 10 pounds x that by twice a week a massive saving, without my daughters,son, friends and elderly aunts all 50 to 60 mins a time.So yes l do.

Mobile phone only, both of us.

The mobile signal isn't great where we live so we use the landline a lot - yes we get sales and scam calls but just hang up

Katek gives a list of likely failures in digital communications, which are nort all that infrequent. When I phone on a landline and the other end uses a mobile phone it is difficult to hear and often there are interferences especially if that person is moving about

I still use a landline phone. I have a mobile too - but can't use it outdoors, as I'm partially sighted and need to wear my reading glasses to see it (or even find it!). I get more scam calls on my mobile - but these are flagged up as such (Potential Fraud etc.) The Landline also has Call Minder - so callers have to say who they are, and some people just don't like that, and put the phone down!

I prefer to use the landline, using the mobile when necessary. As a work from home as a music teacher, l would rather pupils' parents used this number, although we tend to email each other more now, as l don't want all and sundry having my mobile number. I want some autonomy and privacy.
