We don't have a phone connected to our land line, although we technically do have one. Mobiles (not all) display most spam or suspicious callers and it's easy to ignore or such without picking up.
It is annoying how some of my family can't get their head around this still ( not been connected for 5 years maybe more) I still get told "nobody ever picks the phone up, I left a message"

That's because he's got caller ID.

Rarely. They also keep going out of charge we use them that little. We also have BT Call Guardian on the handsets so that even stops incoming marketing.
Even family phone us on our mobiles, even the 82 year old outlaw.

Not if you use Watsapp, the calls are free and the sound astonishingly clear.

We have to. No choice. Only way we can get a signal is to stand in the middle of the road outside. Great signal qualities as soon as you get out of the village, all around, in the fields. I don't give mobile contact numbers on forms etc, as texts don't reach us until after we've left the house. P's me off as I have 100s of minutes and unlimited texts on my mobile contract. I use Whatsapp etc, but not everyone does. We are a deaf and dumb hole in the networks coverage - and they are all about as useless as each other

We have it so the in-laws can call us on the cheap coz they're a tight bunch. Anyway, I like the idea of a backup phone in addition to cellphones. The SO says we have the landline as part of the internet/movie package or whatever we subscribe to.

I've just cancelled my 'free evening and weekend calls'... it was costing me £15 a quarter plus VAT on top of my quarterly call charges of £0.81p.
Ours (all 3 of them) are all in a drawer and have been for about a year. I have a SIP account that I can receive calls on, to the caller it looks like a standard geographical number. I also have skype with some credit on, handy for dialling into US based conference calls (866 numbers mainly).
Like others, I'm annoyed at having to pay for something I don't use and it's high time BT were taken to task over it.

Out of interest who do you have your sip with? I keep meaning to get one because I think it still looks a little shady when businesses don't have landline numbers.
