Do you still have a landline?

Very happy without a landline!

It's been years since we last had an olde worlde phone

No, not used one for about 10 years.

We’ve still got one, but only use it, like you do, for incoming calls, because outgoing calls are not included in our package any longer.

With painful hands , I find the handset of my landline much more comfortable to hold for a long chat with my sisters , so not looking forward to the digital era

We still have one and use mainly for chats with friends as I seem to hear easier on a landline a better reception in our area. It’s a free call with our package if I keep the call under one hour!

Haven’t had one for over 10 years and don’t miss it at all

You could put your mobile on speaker to avoid holding it

Some companies no longer allow international calls from landlines as they can’t compete with the likes of WhatsApp - we only found this out after signing with Lothian broadband. As a lot of our customers are in USA we often make calls from home in the evening so now we have to get them to use WhatsApp and our mobile signal is not always good.

I still have a landline. Only a couple of my elderly neighbours ever use it. And I'm about to be digitalised apparently.
I'd quite like to get rid of it really.

My landline will be staying put, I see it as a back up. Having had the same phone number for around 40 years means very occasionally friends from my past can still contact me. I also get free calls if under an hour.

I have a landline but don’t use it it’s there simply as a temporary emergency if my mobile gave up or was lost or something and I needed to get help

Still useful. We have one.

I find especially in my job working in the NHS that phoning a Mobile is hit and miss.
So many folk don't turn it on all day, so if I need to phone someone I pick the land line number first. The ring can be heard all over the home unlike a Mobile which has been left in a room somewhere. We can't leave messages on an Answerphone unless the person has left their name or family name on the outgoing message.
Me.. I have both plus DH has his phone.

I still have my landline. Reception on my mobile is not very good so I need a back up.

Got one but it’s just incoming calls . We had to have a new number when we upgraded broadband and no one knows it so it never rings anyway

Same as GrannyIvy.I prefer it and don’t have a contract smart phone. Mine is pay as you go and consequently expensive.

The only reason I still have my landline for incoming calls is because I have two old and cherished friends who only use their mobile phones for emergencies. One can never seem to hear me when I ring her on mine, and always rings me back on the landline. The other simply doesn’t like mobile phones! I will ditch it soon, but just not yet.

Not had a landline for years.
I use my mobile hands free at home. Tell it who to phone or message and just speak. No need to press buttons or pick it up.
Carry it with me so no need to run to phone if it rings.
Signal is no problem as it switches to calls, messages over broadband if the signal dips.
I pay £6 a month for unlimited calls and texts and use WhatsApp to call abroad at no extra cost. Far cheaper than landline rental and phones can be bought cheaply too.

Got rid of my BT landline 2+yrs ago no more scam calls or phishing calls and I saved £40 pm. I use my mobile for everything and on loudspeaker if it’s a long call. There are only a couple of people I know that still have one.

We still have a landline, but really only for our broadband connection. Rarely used for calls.

Yes.

Yes.

I still have my landline, dread having to lose it. I`m not technically minded, don`t have a mobile phone and don`t want one, because when I did have one I got into all sorts of tangles with it!

Yes. DD sometimes rings us because mobile reception is often poor where she lives.
