"Does anyone still have one??"

Yes but cannot remember the last time we used it.

Last time I plugged the phone in it rang 5 mins later with a prerecorded marketing call.

Unplugged it straight away.

It came with my internet and my family/friends are in the states so worked out cheaper to keep it.

Came as part of my Internet package and weirdly it's cheaper to keep it than take it off. Not that it's on.

Funny how they drifted away without us noticing.

There was a decade in New York - 1900? 1910? 20? - when all the street photos at the start of the period showed horses and no cars, and by the end there were cars and no horses. Sudden, in retrospect, but perhaps one wouldn't have noticed the moment the last hoofs fell silent.

I think the number still exists but a phone isn’t plugged in to receive it. Years ago, like actually decades there was a misprint in a local directory that switched two numbers of the local library. It printed my landline number. So I’d get little old ladies ringing me to renew their books 😞

No land line at all, quite literally, no wires other than electricity coming onto the property

Yes, the notion of keeping my landline is hanging on a string. I don't really want it but I have to keep it for various hospitals, clinics and other medical practices for my son.

Yep, we still use ours. It's our main way of calling people as neither of us really likes using mobiles.

My father in law recently got rid of his and then managed to accidentally block us on his mobile. We couldn't contact him for weeks before we figured out what was going on. You never had that problem with landlines

All over

They are all going onto digital voice soon and obsolete within 2 years. I already had notificatoon about the conversuon of mine. It means that if power is down will not work. The advice is to have mobile to hand and for those with no mobile or specific issues to duscuss with them. All that was in the letter I got from BT but all providers doing the same.

This is what they want, But BT are struggling with finding answers to lifts that have an emergency and line, and people with life line.

The last time I had 1 they issued me a phone number that the local cab firm used to use so I would get calls at all hours requesting for cabs. Only got it cos it was the days of dial up internet and I had a pager instead of a mobile. That was over 20 years ago lol
