Landline phones

Mrsmopp my hearing aids are comparable with an iPhone

I bought my Panasonic handsets from Argos, a number of years ago, and I've got one in the living room, 1 in the kitchen, 1 in the spare room (where my computer is). I much prefer to talk on a landline, although I've got 2 mobiles (one for work), and my husband has got a mobile.

Try Curry's. I use my mobile but wouldn't want to be without my landline.

High Street mobile phone shops only sell mobile phones because that is what they were set up to sell, they never did sell landline phones.

But as others have shown they can easily be bought in lots of other shops. The OP just made the mistake of initially going to the wrong type of shop.

Our WiFi is delivered via landline so we can’t get rid of it. We never use it, preferring free calls on our mobiles, and it rarely rings. However, we have had the same number for 50 years and for people with whom we are not often in contact it is the only way they can reach us. We would be loath to get rid of it even if we could.

I only pay £21 a month for my internet, landline including line rental and anytime calls anywhere in the uk, up to 1 hour plus 500 mobile calls to EE my mobile phone is o2, mainly because one son lives in Spain so all o2 to o2 calls to him are free
I change my internet provider like my fuel provider every year usually and was going to change to the post office as they were the next cheapest, but EE offered me a better deal to stay with them, plus over £17 they had charged me for my mobile calls from landline, only trying to locate my mobile

I think land-lines will be around for some time to come, and lots of places sell old style phones. As has been said a land-line is necessary for internet connection (unless you have optic fibre or cable). Also there are many areas where the signal is so poor that mobile phones don’t work effectively...I live in one such area ! So I really need my landline. I do have a smart phone and an iPad which I wouldn’t be without but even if it wasn’t strictly necessary I would still keep my old, traditional, landline (plugged in directly not dependent on electricity or batteries) because it’s a safety net in case of emergencies. So I hope they don’t make them obsolete before I pop my clogs!?

I got a great ex-display landline phone off ebay last year. It's a BT digital cordless with everything you need on it including display number-------I think it was £11 !
I have to have a landline as my emergency link is via the phone system.
