Home Phones

[Flea506]

im kinda of curious how many of you have home phones or you use your cell phone as your home phone.

I have an extra line on my vzw account that we use as the home phone

I really don't see the point of home phones anymore being that cell phones are so cheap. We haven't had one at my house for almost 3 years now I think.

I didn't have one at my old house. I have one at the new house and we never use it, been meaning to cancel it. Thanks for the reminder!!

I have a home phone, or "land line." I have two reasons to keep it...

1. There are people who I never want to have my cell number. Then they would just be bugging me. (I don't give out my primary email to everyone either).

2. My main computer system, along with my home theater, is located in the basement. Cell service sucks down there, especially amongst all the electronic equipment.

I still have a home phone. It's a VoIP phone via the cable company, but I have it.

People still call me on it, and my security system uses it to dial out as needed.

I still have a land line. Use it primarily for FAX though.

Quit using ours a year ago, so just had it dropped last month, no sense in it for us, too many telemarketers.

The mobile minutes I would need to buy to cover my in-home use of phones would exceed the cost of my flat rate land lines. Mobile international rates are pretty bad, too. 90% of my mobile phone use is SMS and data. We're a family of three on family share with 700 minutes only because I can't go lower than that and still qualify for some part of my plan, I forget what.

We have a Voip phone through out cable. We need to have a phone here for the babysitter to use if needed.

Still have one. May not in next year though.

my sister got rid of her landline in favor of a cell phone. my uncle also did this.

My parents still have their landlines, we've considered getting rid of it though.

 

[Houndstooth]

Don't think I've had a home phone for about 4 years now.

I have been trying to make the decision to give up the home phone. I have mine through Time Warner Cable and they just hit me with a big increase on everything. I have heard that a land line is more secure, but I imagine because it is through the cable company that it is Voip anyway.

Wish Verizon offerred a discount to their wireless customers
