I still have a phone that is landline. Also, I have a cell phone.
That's true but how many of us actually have old school ll? My MIL does only because she can't figure out how to use a cell phone nor keep it charged, dementia, otherwise healthy.
I still have a landline, and I believe I still have an old school phone hanging around here somewhere in a closet, not a rotary one but push button. Oh and also still have one of my kids old M&M’s phones from years ago.
I kept a landline and that’s the number I give out when business ask for a phone number because it means less scam calls to my cell phone. If someone calls the house phone and I don’t know who they are, let it go to voicemail, then if they leave a message (which most don’t) I just delete it.
Not a choice for me. My internet provider requires me to have it. But I'm glad to have it - works without power and like u/GSZeus, it's the only number I give out, which enables me to screen calls without having my cell phone gunked up with junk.
If they were analog lines you would be fine and they would work no problem, unfortunately many providers switched big sections of the US to digital so I don’t think those with digital land lines will continue to have service. I guess I’ll find out great.
It's a lot easier to SAY we're gonna knock out the internet than to actually do it.
That's why it's never happened yet.
Fiber is mostly used for the main arteries of data, but most end points (your house) rely on copper.
