Landline phones

I also much prefer the landline as 02 has very poor connection where I live, and the worst spot in my area seems to be my house!

I would get rid of my landline like a shot if the mobile phone companies would improve coverage. We have virtually no signal which is a pain for online banking. We message friends and family on WiFi.

I thi I Tesco sell phones. We use ours as our mobiles dont work inside!

I only have my landline and when the old set died a couple of weeks ago, I got a new one on Ebay - loads on there, reasonable prices.

We have to have a landline as our care line is run through it so I can't see LL phones not being available in the future what kind of problems would we have if mobile services went down for any length of time.
I have not used my mobile since I retired from fulltime work I just don't need to be in constant contact with anyone anymore thank goodness,if people need to speak to me they know my LL number and where I live,

I only use a landline and I have bought a few phones on Amazon. They last well....I usually stick to buying BT basic phones.

For the other question I think it might be because the internet works in most homes via the phonelines?

Have a look online - John Lewis still sell landline phones. And I dare say e,g. Argos too. We recently got 3 new cordless ones - for bedroom, sitting room and kitchen.
Do mostly uses his mobile but I still prefer the LL when at home.
