Do you still have a Landline Phone?

Just read today that Verizon FiOS TV was up 299,000 new subscribers and their Internet up 298,000 the first quarter of 2009....

But at the same time their landline business losses where down 2.9 million in the last year.

Looks like a lot of people are either dropping there landline in favor of the Cell Phone everyone seems to have these days.

They are going VoIP instead of landline.

I have optimum and I still consider it a "landline".

Yes. DH needs a landline for work.

I prefer a landline when talking at home anyway.

Re: Do you still have a Landline Phone?

we have Optimum voice -- which technically isn't a landline -- but it is a separate house phone number...so i guess you could say "landline". i think a lot of people use the phones line with their cable modem

Re: Do you still have a Landline Phone?

I've considered getting rid of our landline (through Optimum), but I haven't been able to bring myself to do it. With their discounts, it wouldn't save me much to get rid of it.

Re: Do you still have a Landline Phone?

I put other because although we have a landline, we probably would not if the triple play weren't the cheapest way to go.

Re: Do you still have a Landline Phone?

I still have one and don't see us getting rid of it anytime soon. I hate talking on cell phones and the connections I have with friends who have cable phone lines always seem to stink.

We have a landline but hardly ever use it. We need it for our alarm system otherwise it would probably go.

We got a house phone two weeks ago - the Verizon FiOS package deal. Our first home number in 8 years.

We got it mainly for emergencies and for when we have a sitter for DD.

We've had vonage for 5-6 years and it's great and cheap.

we have thought about the triple play when we move though.


VOIP is not a landline...if the power goes out...you will not have a phone...but it's not reason enough to pay the enormous phone co bill for me.

We just dropped our landline in hopes to get the Magic Jack. I was tired of all the telemarketing calls I got on the landline and it wasnt worth the money since no one was calling us on it. My only concern about the Magic Jack is that you have to keep your computer on in order for it to work. I wonder what that will do to our electric bill.

yes, we have a landline. we both have cell phones, but would never rely on them where we are. There is spotty, if any, cell service where we are.
