Landline phones.

[slowmotion]

Are you still making trunk calls?

Yes, but I don't trumpet about it.

We got rid of the landline phone many years ago, we've still got the landline but only for the broadband.

Who is still using them?........

Me. I don't have any need of anything else, so I don't have anything else.

Landline phones?! In 2018?!! No wonder you voted brexit.

I'm far too lazy to get out of the armchair to answer some tit on the landline.

Been without a landline for just over a year. I can't see ever needing one again.

Spare me the porkies, Rich. I happen to know that your Lay Z Boy recliner has an integral corded phone....

A huge rip off.
Millions of us paying for a phone that's unplugged and in a drawer / cupboard or wheelie bin.

Still use ours all the time, my mobile had £10 PAYG credit when I bought it 21 months ago and still has over a fiver left on it.

I phoned someone on my mobile the other day and got a message "this is BT 1572, the person you are calling has chosen not to receive calls from certain numbers", which given he doesn't know me I took to mean mobiles. I had to dig out my landline phone (and wait till after 6pm).

What's a phone?

I tried to get rid of my landline and my TV package. The phone has been unplugged for months and we watch tv so infrequently we don't bother having the set top box plugged in. I called Virgin and said I wanted to cancel the phone and telly. My bill each month was around £80. Eventually they agreed to ditch the phone and telly package and reduce my bill to £40 a month. One day before the shut off date they rang me and asked if I'd like to keep the phone and telly package but just pay £1 a month for them. So I said yes. Bonkers.

Since I turned the ringer off on the landline nobody phones me anymore

had to apply for a loan and the form needed a landline number, I dont have a landline number and until i gave a number i couldn't proceed with the application. So in the end I used the banks telephone number

I still use it for anything requiring a phone number. Deliveries, NHS, everything. I don't pay a monthly charge, just usage, which is very little. I simply don't give out my mobile to everyone and as slomo says, the quality of a mobile call is often very poor.
