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 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.
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.
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
You could put your mobile on speaker to avoid holding it
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!

My BT landline is about to be switched over to Digital voice. I do not pay for inclusive calls so only use it for incoming calls. I kept it partly as it was needed for broadband, which is no longer necessary. I am now considering whether to buy new handsets to be compatible with the new system or get rid of the landline and just use my mobile. Do other people still find a landline useful or are you happy without one?
